I have just finished my ’58 steering
wheel. First I thoroughly cleaned it with fantastic and water to remove all the
dirt from the cracks. I then cleaned it with plastic prep cleaner from the
local body shop supply store. I then wrapped it in masking tape and injected
all the cracks with marine epoxy (very thin consistency compared to the
household stuff in a tube) using a drug store type syringe to restore the
structural integrity of the plastic. Once cured I removed the
tape and touched up low spots with a finishing body filler. A couple of
coats of high build primer from a spray can, a careful sanding to get it
perfect and then shot it with touchup spray, duplicolor.
Did basically the same with my ’38
wheel 7 years ago and still no cracks. Ernie and The Black Bitc_!! -----Original Message----- thanks for the help. I have tryed to dye a steering wheel that was on an
old pickup with vinal dye, but it would come off on my hands when I drove the
truck. is there a product that is made for recoloring a
steering wheel? I was going to try that plastic dip that you use
to cover plier handles, but the local stores here no longer carry it . has
anyone tried this product on steering wheels? Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday! |
