Steering Column Restoration

I removed the steering column from the Mustang on February 8th. I placed an order with NPD last Thursday. The order included the new lower column seal and paint for the column. Since the order arrived today, I decided to go ahead and paint the steering column.

I tested the paint (Charcoal Metallic) on a piece of scrap cardboard. It was obvious it is very thin and used mostly for a metallic finish coat. I painted the column black first with the Krylon 1613 and then put a couple of light coats of the charcoal metallic paint.

The finished column looks really nice but may have a little more metallic than original.
