Does anybody have a good idea what brand Rattle can paint I could use to repaint a Steering Wheel? I've used many brands but I was afraid as they don't seen to get hard enough for a wheel and there is nothing worse than a sticky wheel! Would Epoxy paint do the job? Thanks for any and all help!
I used plasti-kote super enamel on the wheel of my '49. Came out great and 4 years later is holding strong. Like anything else prep is key, be sure to rough up the surface a little to get rid of any soaked in grease or oil or youll have fish-eye problems for sure.
I'm shooting the replacement door on my son's truck with Dupli-Color. It was the closest match I could find to the faded blue on the truck now. Tomorrow, it's prep and shoot. Mid-week, we'll install the door.
If you dont want a gloss, id use an SEM product, works awesome. Not much more than a standard rattle bomb
i also used DUPLI-COLOR, but cleaned it good with final wash before and after sanding. then used DUPLI-COLOR ACLEAR ADHESION PROMOTER before the color coats. so far, it's ok.
After many years of rattle can spraying , I settled on Dupicolor paints , I like the pattern they spray and they seem to flow out the best,excellent gloss, Never did care for Rustoleum, seem to take too long to dry, And the tractor paints will to take forever to dry,,,,,,,
Most automotive paint shops can mix up any color in an acrylic enamel, and put it in a spray bomb for about $16.
Unfortunately the strongest rattle-can paints take the longest to dry or cure. Quick-drying paint has alot of solvent in it and even though it looks better doesn't last. A good lacquer-base is TEMPO, its found at marine stores and comes in alot of cool colors, older outboard/marine engine factory matches. The black is the best, it rubs out just like lacquer should.
