Restoring A Steering Column

[Ray Barnes]

I'm in the proccess of restoring my steering column on my 69 and thought I would share my findings so far on what paint to use.
I have tried several (six) different shades and gloss levels of paint and found so far that the Eastwood Under Hood black is the closest. I still have one more I would like to try, Krylon semi-gloss 9203. Trying to find something more availabe and cheaper. The Eastwood lists for $12.99 plus shipping, it would be nice to run to the store and pick up a $5 can and get the job done. I'll keep you posted on my finds. Any other suggestions are more than welcome.

On a side note for the detailed type of guys...the 69's ignition lock asm has the indent for the indicator painted red.
