I want to paint it the body color of the truck or black. Do i need to use a special paint of some kind? | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 35 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 35 | I've painted a steering wheel and used automotive paint. As a matter of fact I chose not to even use primer to keep the film thickness down. Dupont Chroma One worked quite well. Just make sure the wheel is super clean and scuffed up. Single stage paints really hate contaminants.

It might even make a good sealer for the hard rubber, you could then scuff it and paint over it. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 887 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 887 | Before you paint the wheel spray it with "bull dog" it is a paint adhesion promoter that you use on things like plastic bumpers etc... in addition to or instead of a flex agent.

What type primer/topcoat? Does the oil in your hands effect? I'm not ready to do yet but these are some of the problems I've heard of
