Correct spray paint for 33/34 steering wheel
 

Hi I want to know what spray paint to use for a 33/34 steering wheel?

Thank you

Unless you need to paint the wheel to conceal repairs, they were originally unpainted.

If you insist on painting your steering wheel, what I have used is single stage urethane with the necessary prep and a color of you choice.
It is wear resistant.

I had a wheel in very bad shape, so I filled the cracks w/ 'body mud'and dried for some time, then hand-sanded lightly, spray-painted black, spray-urethane.

Enjoyed driving, w/a great 'feel' - smooth as glass.

(If you must do the resto, and like high-gloss wheel, do it! (I had the wheel outta the cab when doing the thorough job. It looked outstanding.

I have used appliance epoxy rattle can black with good success

If the wheel is not in too bad a shape I have had good results wet sanding to about 1000 grit and hand polish with fine compound. Ends up smooth with a slight gloss

Thank you all I really appreciate it. I repaired a crack on the bottom and on the side and wanted to paint it to look nice and cover the primer on top of the repairs

I would not/did not use a primer. Wear will inevitably result and the primer will show through.

Just use a good paint with a hardener for "primer" and "top coat" and you won't have to worry about a primer showing through with wear.

I agree with Dave. Steering wheels were not painted.

when i did my 35 someone smarter than me said to use plastic bumper paint, it has a little flex built in. i used a satin black. Mine has lasted well

I used rubber bumper paint about 20yrs. ago on my wheel and it still is in great shape.

My recommend is an epoxy paint, rattle can, satin black. hard as nails. The satin hides hand prints better.
