Steering wheel paint What kind of primer and paint should I use on a repaired steering wheel?
|
Re: Steering wheel paint Primer may not be necessary unless there is bare metal involved or you need to fill minor imperfections but any good epoxy primer would hold up. I use single stage polyurethane paint. If it looks too shiny then use it a while. The shine will decrease with use.
I'd avoid putting on too many coats. It adds up pretty quick and makes the wheel grow. |

Hi Herb,
I used a two component primer. Then came the 2-component epoxy paint that is also used in this country for trucks. The result is still good after 1 year. |
Re: Steering wheel paint Thin coats of primer and paint. I usually use epoxy primer an Enamel with a hardener.
|
Re: Steering wheel paint I had pretty good luck with Krylon rattle can "Fusion" It's designed for plastics.
|
Re: Steering wheel paint Wipe it down with a good paint prep or rubbing alcohol before painting. I did not use a primer and was happy with the results of using Black VHT engine paint... Chap

Re: Steering wheel paint I've had decent luck with acrylic lacquer . The cracks eventually come back , no matter what I use for a filler . For a good job , I've found it best to go ahead and replace the steering wheel with a new repro steering wheel .

Re: Steering wheel paint I repaired the broken, missing and cracked parts w/bondo, sanded, wiped it down w/alcohol and sprayed it with rattle can enamel. Looks good to my old eyes.

Re: Steering wheel paint I used bondo and it filled the cracks and gaps nicely .. After a fairly short time it became obvious that cracks had been repaired .

Re: Steering wheel paint I’ve used devcon epoxy for cracks and minor voids
Then used a two part paint Actually DP 90 will work some like a glossy finish...I don’t Clean it well whatever u use |
Re: Steering wheel paint For the Early steering wheel I used Rustoleum red primer. I tested it against the original color wheel and it seemed to match perfectly.
|
Re: Steering wheel paint I use S.E.M.S rubber bumper paint, it looks good and holds up good.
|
Re: Steering wheel paint Anyone use JB Weld as a crack and chip filler?
|
Re: Steering wheel paint I’ve used JB
But like devcon better; either/or |
Re: Steering wheel paint PB.7 A/B a good crack filler
|
Re: Steering wheel paint It would help if you mentioned which steering wheel you have. I have repaired red '28 wheels by filling cracks with Super Glue and fine dust from another red wheel. After that, I simply sanded the wheel and polished it with brown shoe polish.
