Looking good Barry! 

What type of paint did you use, to adhere well enough to a steering wheel, and not wear off with use?

I just used a pressure pack black.
Seems to have lasted OK 

...and any tips for learners?

Hey Kiwi
It's a bit of "suck and see" experience.

The Q Bond is just powder and glue.
You need to open the cracks enough to get the powder in there and when it is too big, you need to "form work" it with masking tape.
Then sanded back

A couple more pics.

I had an issue with the new TMI door skins getting wet.
I replaced them with Australian Door Card' ABS ones.
They only came in black.
This time I sprayed with a flexi prime and then an off white / beige

   

The TMI's

   

The ADC's 
Also the 70's Ford falcon window winder
I will put the TMI's back on one day.
Basically the got wet and the corner fell to pieces one day when I needed to change a door handle.
Gotta love advances with T3's.

1. The corner vent grille is separate to the door card and you dont break the corner (I still have no idea what the grille does?) 
   
2.  You can change a door handle with out taking the inside skin off (seriously - what were they thinking the first time??)
   

At the moment I am just loving how rugged the ABS cards are and I dont think they look THAT bad?

I also used the flexi primer and off white to spray the hinge covers as well

before
   

after

Jail bars were added all around as well

Rear - see above

Sides
   

They were cheap enough from JK and I like the subtle bling factor

What else is missing from the original post?

Oh...............Grantus gave me a mouthful over not having the seat belt risers done properly 

Before
   

And after server days hard work
   

BOTH sides were done - i didn't skimp

Oh.................and a BIG shout to Col (Cbus) 

He provided me some VW sliders and prayed them in black for me 

   
   
   
   

Now ALL window rubbers have been replaces
The flippers gone and the middle sliders in.
The rear driver flipper was replaced with a solid new bit of glass.
I was offered an OG piece from Tintop (thanks) - should have taken it.
I thought the hassle and all of getting it, it would be easier to get a new piece.
The new one was a couple of mm over sized.
It was over Christmas a year or 2 ago - and about 110% humidity and 40*C
It was a BITCH to get in.
The old one was out. Had cut the rubber.
There was no going back.
The amount of huffing and puffing and shoving and swearing...................
Damn those beers went down easy when it was finished

Flippers

   

Sliders on one side (see rear flipper through glass)
