Thank you, klhansen! Do you remember what kind of paint you used? My husband has a 1968 Camaro that also needs to have the steering wheel painted. I've seen mixed reviews on different products online.
The paint I used on the wheel was the same as I used on the steering column. PPG's Commercial Performance Coating line of Alkyd Enamel (ALK-200) that I got from Jim Carter. I did use black epoxy primer in a rattle can that I got locally. I don't recall the brand. It has a plunger in the bottom that breaks a hardener capsule to activate it.
As far as durability, I haven't driven the truck much, so can't comment on that. The paint is easy to apply and looks good.
