Anyone paint their stock steering wheel?

Wondering if any one painted original black or body color? Thanks

Do you mean the column? I don't think I've heard of anyone painting the steering wheel.

The wheel.

Thought maybe a vinyl paint, but guess not.

I refurbished and painted an original wheel on my '70. Used a two part epoxy to fix the cracking then sanded and painted in semi-gloss black (Rustoleum). Was a pretty simple project and turned out really nice. Been a few years now and although not many miles it looks just about like the day I finished it.

Does paint ever come off on your hands?

Or do you use a steering wheel cover? Thanks for the info.

I painted one on my 68 F250. Epoxied the cracks, sanded, and cleaned it real good. Then used a quality spray primer and quality black paint. Came out great and never came off in the 5 years I had the truck.

I've painted lots of antique tractor steering wheels and recently my bronco steering wheel. I always used base coat/clear coat on them and they hold up great and look like new.

I have a cover on it now just because I like the additional thickness and the look. Didn't have any issues with paint coming off prior to the cover.
