Just wondering if anyone else has had strange dealings with pearlcraft?
I send an email to pearlcraft about having a steering wheel reco,d i said i just wanted it black.
The reply i got was nothing more than rude if you want a ebay cheap repair job send it to someone on ebay.
I never mentioned price or ebay all i wanted was my steering wheel fully refurbished.
So i did the right thing and replied and said look i dont care if it has to be pearl coated and painted 2K black i want it recod as your advertising states thats what you do .

No reply ?
who else does wheels that wants some business?

We have had two wheels done by Pearlcraft and have had excellent service and communication.  I am pretty sure they dont use 2k paint.  We would recommend them to anyone.  Maybe there has been some hitch in the communication in this instance.

I think i will ring them direct then as i stated i want it restored dont really care about the cost i just want a quality job.

I remember calling once, they were VERY clear that they won't do wheels plain, Pearl or PoQ.

But they clearly state on their new website they restore vintage and veteran wheels ?

Try OLDEN1 - Geoff & Cathie Field - he advertises restored steering wheels - not pearl.

I have seen his work - very good

I spoke to Pearlcraft a year or so ago about reducing the diameter and thickening the band of my original FC steering wheel, and having it finished in piano black, without a pearl effect. The woman I spoke with told me they could do it and it wouldn't be an issue.

The hk monaro wheel they did for me was restored to original  looks great and aint pearl.

I have had dealt with both Pearlcraft and OLDEN1.

Both have been very pleasant.

Pearlcraft pearled my steering wheel and did a great job.

Geoff & Cathie Field have been exceptionally nice so much so that they sent through a replacement grill badge insert beacuse there was a fault with the first one in that the chrome lion turned a gold colour. I bought the first one about 6 months ago and the replacement has just turned up last week with a note explaining why.

I would highly recommend Geoff and Cathie's ethical approach to business and can I encourage those who need parts to support their business.

I've had two wheels done and a mate in the States sent one down were all happy, if you have an origional wheel thats cracked up fill the cracks with Araldite sand smooth when dry then 2pak black
Happy to be living past my "USE BY DATE" as in August 2007 they gave me 6-12 months to live
