I think I've decided to add a new coating to the steering wheel. I tested plasti-dip and rustoleum pro bed liner. They both have qualities that I like (bed liner a bit thicker), but the plasti-dip seems less sturdy (after a few days drying). The bedliner material is definitely tougher. Plasti-dip slightly more rubbery. I'm a little worried about a plain paint coating. Anybody used bedliner (or other coating)?

After another day of drying, the bedliner material is only a little better than the plasti-dip :( Both fairly easy to rub off. ------------- 1952 CA13092 |

Sand it, paint it black and apply several coats of clear coat afterwards. ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '61 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

I have filled cracks with body putty.. sanded as DSeries4 said and painted black with enamel paint. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

Already done all that. Just don't think that will hold up to much use. ------------- 1952 CA13092 |

plasti dip never really dries, and most importantly gas and oil eat right through it... ------------- Source: Babylon Bee. Sponsored by BRAWNDO, its got what you need! |

:) I've already got $100 in epoxy and paint in this one. It's looking pretty good (especially compared to original). ------------- 1952 CA13092 |

After several test coats of bedliner, I'm liking it more and more. It does seem a little tougher with number of coats and drying time. ------------- 1952 CA13092 |
