    Hi,

    Here's another question, as I said in an earlier post I am restoring =
a steering wheel for my series 1. I have cleaned the rim and will fill =
the cracks with filler and sand it smooth. I would then like to bring =
the rim back to its original nice shiny black colour.
    Has anyone got any suggestions how this can be done, does simply =
painting it black work OK, is there a good type of paint you can =
recommend.  Alternatively does anyone know of any other substances that =
will do this job?

    Thanks for any advice.

    Tony Boyle.
