Re: Black Plastic Restorer

I just repainted a friends C20 steering wheel. It was actually sticky to the touch. Took a lot of work to get the goo off the wheel. Tried various chemicals being careful not to use anything like acetone with likes to gobble plastics. Ended up using Castrol super clean straight out of the jug. Laid the wheel in a wash tray and kept it wet with the Castrol for awhile and then used a stiff brush on it. Had to repeat until sticky was gone and wheel was clean. Washed with soap and water. Shot it with 2 coats of Rustoleum painters touch 2X spray paint in black satin. Painted one side at a time laying flat to avoid runs. Takes a few days, but you'll avoid the running. Don't put it on too heavy. Keep the can moving until you have a smooth wet look and then stop. It says wait 48 hours before recoat. Believe it. I waited double that time because I know if you recoat too soon the paint will orange peel the previous coat. He loves the wheel and I'm even impressed. I just assumed yours is black?
