While we're talking about paint. I finally put my Camaro steering column back together with help from Brian Rupnow and the local AUTO ZONE sales clerk. I sanded the surface rust off the steel part of the column and scuffed up the blue-grey paint (?) on the top hub and then sparyed it with rattle-can Rustoleum black. The bottom of the column where the steel is looks like new with a glossy black finish, but the top part remained a dull black even after three coats. Maybe the temperature in the garage was too cold?? But no, the steel turned out fine. Further the blue-grey part seemed to not wet with the spray enamel. What sort of paint do I need to get a glossy finish on the top part of the column?
