I bought the kit and a cheap steering wheel on ebay to play with before tackling my original. It was my first attempt at this, and I thought it looked pretty good. Like Dan said, I think I will need another application of the epoxy, as some of the shrinkage did not show itself until I applied the first coat of paint. The grey paint stuff in the kit didn't seem to work like I thought it would, but I kind of pushed the temperature limits working in the cold. Also, because I was a little too liberal with the epoxy application, the amount of sandpaper in the kit was far from adequate. I went to Lowe's and bought a couple of sanding sponges which worked great. The only thing I didn't know how to tackle was the little plastic trim ring inset. For the practice wheel, I just ripped out the broken pieces and filled it all in. I think I will try to take a paint pen and draw it back in, but I haven't gotten that far yet. Good luck!
