Thread: Restoring the steering wheel - which paint?

I can't tell you what's best, but I can tell you that when I experienced the same frustrating issue I pulled the wheel off, sanded it back, filled the cracks with putty, and painted it with a can of matt black Killrust I had lying around. Lasted at least 8 years (when I sold it) without an issue.

Thanks

if you have large crack good clean and plastic metal and jim repaint

Try some liquid rubber spray called "Plasti Dip". Coatings and Adhesives, Rubber and Plastic Coatings | Plasti Dip Interntional
Works a treat on even rough surfaces.
And if you don't like it, it can generally be peeled off if you try hard enough.

You can buy it from auto parts stores such as AutoPro

If you have access to it, 2 pac paint is the go. Once it's dry, you won't have another issue.

^^^^^ That's how hh restores ours. V out any cracks fill, sand back and paint with 2 pac
