Miata steering wheel leather repair/redye

[Bob_MX5]

My 19 year old steering wheel had plenty of ring-finger damage...maybe yours too.

Before: Cleaned and ready for sanding, filling, sanding, dyeing, waiting, top coats.









During: filler applied and sanded with 600, 1000, 2000 grit.



After:









Looks "new-ish" rather than new. New-ish fits better with the age of the car, IMO.

cheers.

^Post up what you'd charge....if it's reasonable I'll bet you'll get some right here on the forum!

[Bob_MX5]

TBH, I hadn't given a lot of thought regarding a price to charge. But, given the time/labor/materials to do produce a "newish" result, this seem reasonable:

If the wheel has as much damage as mine and requires a fair amount of hand-sanding: $40.

If more damage than mine: $50.

If the damage is relatively light: $30.

All will get full dye to ensure a consistent color with protective coat over the dye and a topcoat for added durability...like mine.

Cheers.

Rookie mistake. if OZMDD will buy 3 you priced it too cheap!

Ha..not trying to make a living doing this. If this proves to be a money losing venture because I've misjudged my costs/effort, I can always adjust my price AFTER I do his/others at this offering.

Cheers.
