steering wheel/ shift knob restoration?

Postby dnolan » Wed Oct 25, 2006 10:06 am

Can anyone tell me if there is any way to restore/ refinish my cubs steering wheel and shift knob. They are both in really good condition, but the "finish?" seems to have worn off and now I get black all over my hands when I drive it. :( Thanks in advance for your responses.

Yup:

EJP uses Plasti-Dip.. I think it is. I haven't been able to find it, so I am using Rattle Can Poly-Utrethane Gloss to seal the wheel and the knob. In fact, I am doing the gear shift know today for my Hydraulic Valve for the Blade project.. "thanks Rick :!: :D :D :D "

dnolan, Since you say the stering wheel is " in really good condition " they have steering wheel covers at Wal-Mart that work real good

my dad is my repair guy for these kinds of projects. He uses jbweld for the cracks or bondo if he has too and then sprays them black and then a clear coat to finish.

Steering wheel restoration

I filled the cracks on mine with JB weld and then painted with Krylon plastic spray paint. Worked real nice.
