I had mine done in Blake granite. The steering had to be sent to american stitches so that they could add the wood to the wheel but since they don't do anything but reg wood I had to have them just add the reg. wood than the company i sent them too just sanded that down to add the black granite finish. Gamma had blk burlwood.

blk granite.

As long as they are tears of joy, appreciate the comments. I put a lot of hard work into my interior swap. Gamma hooked me up with the company that did his wood.

It's fascinating to see the differences between the black wood and black marble.
Both look great!

On the "airbrushing" technique... mine was applied with an automotive spray gun in a spray booth.
The material is a House of Colors "black kandy clearcoat." We used about six coats, and then
the pieces were wet sanded and buffed (not as easy as it sounds- the pieces are fragile.
The finish is extremely glossy and looks about a foot deep.

Here's what it does in the shade... you don't see the wood pieces in the direct sunlight very often,
so they have a "Piano Black" look most of the tire. My guess is that a bodyshop would charge about
$250 to do all the pieces.
