Steering wheel re-varnish

Hi, both steering wheels on the Fulvia and Sport have chipped off most of the brown varnish. What would you recommend to re-apply?
Thanks

Hello Michael
I have successfully refurbished a couple of S2 steering wheels - a bit time consuming but worth it. You know that on the S2 the rim is plastic, therefore don't go near it with paint stripper ( I did, once!!). Carefully sand off the varnish with fairly coarse production paper (60 or 80 grit?) - you may need steel wool for the finger grip areas. It is quite easy to see when you are through to the plastic - just be careful and go slowly. The bare plastic is quite orangy in colour, so I darkened it by brushing on one (or two, dependent upon your wishes - I did two) of polyurethane wood stain varnish (admittedly this was the era when paint was spirit based and not water based as now). The modern nylon abrasive pads (spray-shop supplies or motor factors) are good for sanding the varnished finish smooth after coats. Then mask the spokes and spray the rim with several coats of clear enamel varnish - I used gloss. If you then cut it back slightly, as you would after spraying bodywork, it gives an almost original sheen.

Cheers Roddy. Thanks.
On the paint colours again, I am now definitely going for the original white for my Zagato. Do you have a list of what numbers were produced in each colour?
Cheers

Hello Michael
I am sorry but I can't help you a great deal. I have a note of two Lancia numbers for Bianco Saratoga Lancia 110 and Lancia 170. Also a Lesonal number 251 and a Lechler number 1329. But which is which, I do not know. There are those out there who may be able to help you if you posted a request. There just seems to be a greyish white shade and a creamy white shade, but it may be all in the paint mixer's scales?
P.S. - if you do find out, please let me know - thank you.
