Good morning, all. Saw this yesterday. It sounded as good as it looks!

I need to figure out a somewhat easy way to get this primer off of these panels.

Why remove it? Maybe I'm missing something, but if it's bonded solid, shouldn't you just keep it there and sand it smooth?

I've been thinking about a new steering wheel for the Mustang, as the OEM one is slick and shiny, and nothing I seem to do will bring it back to life. I've been considering the SVE FR500 wheel for awhile, now, but $260 is holding me back (and I'd have to dye the OEM airbag and column covers to match it. - https://lmr.com/item/LRS-3601FR500-B/mustang-fr500-steering-wheel-black-9498

I decided to look around on eBay to see what else might be available. WTF? - https://www.ebay.com/itm/153200143152

It's not exactly solid. It flakes off from time to time, and I'd rather just get rid of it. No idea what it is either, DJ. It was on there when I bought it.

your best bet is to just sand it, i wouldn't go much coarser than 400 grit if its plastic
