? about painting a steering wheel
I was wanting to see if anyone has painted their factory steering wheel to a different color. If so how did you do it, how good did it look, and how well did the paint stay on after use? I have a brown steering wheel that had some minor cracks in it. I have now filled the cracks in with steering wheel epoxy and was wanting to paint it black. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: ? about painting a steering wheel

I had great luck painting mine with rustoleum as well. I used black gloss

Re: ? about painting a steering wheel
Paint it just like you would any other part of the truck. Before they started making them in color, they were all painted.

Re: ? about painting a steering wheel
I painted a factory '68 wheel; it was originally grey-painted red and I redid it. I put 3 coats of clear on it to give some wear-ability to the surface, looked good and still does.

Re: ? about painting a steering wheel
Thanks for the input everyone! I thought there would be some long multi step procedure, but it is actually straight forward.

Re: ? about painting a steering wheel
Just clean it really well before painting.I used steel wool and scotch brite on mine.Then I hung it up and sprayed it with brake cleaner.When it dried,I shot 3 coats of Rustoleum grey.I do have the rim wrapped with a leather cover but the spokes have stayed nice for over 5 years.
