A good job requires thoroughly cleaning contaminants/dust and a good epoxy. You can also drill little holes in the v-cut to help epoxy grab. I only used bondo for minor filling. I first used JB because it's runny to get it "into" the material. Then I used a pasty epoxy like PC7 to fill. |

The first coat of blue is on and drying in the sun. Suppose to be 90's here today. I'll wet sand it some tomorrow if needed before I spray the clear. Two tone white & blue as it came from the factory.
It's not perfect but it beats what it did look like. I redid the Chevelle wheel back in 2012 and it looks as good today as back then.:chevy: |

Here are some pics of my steering wheel. Like I said it seems to be holding up very well. As mentioned in an earlier post I used PC-7 two part epoxy to fill all of the cracks. Also this was not my original wheel, it was too far gone in my opinion. I bought this three spoke version at a wrecking yard.

The 67 SS Chevelle wheel I used bondo the cracks where not that bad. The wood and the 64 Impala wheel I used what is in the picture. You have to cut off just enough to work with because it will harden up pretty fast on you. Keeping it wet helps though. That's why I didn't worry aboy excess I just ground it off after it dries good. :chevy: |
