Re: Steering Wheel Restoration

Looking good Dan!

I've wanted to do this to a couple wheels myself. I talked to a guy at a car show once who had done it and he said he used gelcoat because it is so much more durable than paint. He mentioned that he had tried paint but it showed signs of wear quickly. I know nothing about gelcoat except that it is used on boat hulls.

Can anybody add anything to this? I have found quarts of black gelcoat for $20-30.00. I would like to try this. Does it take a special gun?
