EBody woodgrain steering wheel sheen

I'm in the process of restoring my wheel which was in really great shape to begin with so it hasn't been that difficult but I have a question regarding the clear coat sheen.

Should it be gloss or satin? The reason I ask is because of all the wheels I've seen restored, they are satin but my wheel was clearly gloss. I understand that polishing can occur naturally by years of use but parts of the wheel that shouldn't have much contact like the bottom inside were gloss.

This is the last stage of the process and I want to make sure it's correct.

Thanks

Satin for sure, my 3,700 mile survivor Cuda was satin as well as the NOS rim blow steering wheel I have. I've never seen any original wood grain steering wheel on any MOPAR from 67-71 that was shiny.

NOS wheel

Thanks. I was hoping that was the case. Satin was my preferred finish but needed to be sure.

Now will a product like SEM Color Coat satin clear suffice or should I flatten some PPG 2002 urethane clear? I'll first need to see how they react to the minwax stain I used before committing. May not be an issue at all but I'd hate to mess up wheel at this point.

I used SEM satin clear on my woodgrain wheel and pistol grips after refinishing it, 40K miles later still looks great

That's good news because I already have a full can. I'm assuming you used minwax stain?

Thanks for the help everyone.

Yes...

Awesome. Thanks again

Finished steering wheel and super happy with the results.

Thanks for the help everyone..

Nicely done!, seriously...
