Post by: 69z28302 on June 08, 2008, 04:56:53 PM: I am at a point on my car that I need to paint the stering column. It is a standard black interior car.

Consistency when using Krylon's laquer or enamel based paints is recommended. It all depends on how much flattening agent is added and how well the paint is agitated weather you will get the degree of sheen you are shooting for.

John is this the same color that would be used to touch up around the Astro vent on the passenger side of the dash?

Thanks

Hard to say - depends on the sheen that's on there now; blending into existing paint is always an issue, vs. painting separate parts like the steering column.
