<DIV>The steering wheel on my '63 convertible needs a re-paint. The paint, obviously from a previous owner's efforts, is rubbing off or chipping off. The steering wheel itself is in great shape with no cracks. I've decided that I want to take care of this before Spring. Is this something the average schmuck can attempt or should I send it to a pro? If the latter, just any old local body shop or maybe someone specializing in the antique car hobby (e.g. a Hemmings advertiser)? Does it need to be stripped? What kind of paint? And what of the little chrome rings on the steering wheel? Can they be saved or should I buy replacements (assuming repros are out there)? Anything else I haven't thought of?</DIV>

<DIV>Thanks!</DIV>
