Don’t get to excited Neil, it’s close?? But no cigar today!!
Standing by itself it looks purty good, and if the steering column and wheel were both painted I doubt if the average person could tell that it’s not right. But when you compare it next to the real thing it just taint right.
This color was matched to the original color that was on the backside of the wheel. The samples really looked close in the paint store before it was sprayed on here at home. And before you all ask, yes it was mixed and mixed and mixed when I opened the can here at home, so there wern’t no color laying on the bottom of the can nor hiding in the corners.

The problem is getting the steering gear out of the truck without a lift. I’ve been told that it will come out from the bottom without having a lift, but I won’t believe that till I see it done.
Well it’s back to the drawing board for now, at least I won’t have to put up with that sticky black hard rubber anymore!
