Larry, Brad, I've got about 1100 miles on that steering wheel, it looks as good today as when I finished it 1100 miles ago; I have every confidence that it will probably wear much better than the factory surface/finish. It is not at all abrasive and, yes, zooming in on my pictures pretty much shows a total lack of any sharp edges In the finish. The surface is more analogous to that of a bad case of "orange peel". And that Line-X stuff is tough as nails, I've got it on my running boards, it does not scatch noticeably and does not chip. As I'd said earlier,Id knocked down the initial Line-X coating minimally with some 220 just to get everything looking more consistent and eliminate any high spots before I painted it. I've seen other similar products that result in an almost sandpaper type surface. This Line/X is not like that at all. I'm totally happy with it. IT IS NOT ROUGH ON YOUR HANDS! Keeping that wheel with the truck was important to me, this option covered and hid the cracks perfectly, I love the result.
