ron350 Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Steering wheel paint removal? Has any one tried to remove the paint on a steering wheel? The factory Gray paint has started flaking off in a few places and I wondered if it was possible to remove the rest without hurting the black rubber stuff underneath.

cutlsp Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 i guess you could try nail polish remover it shouldn't be to hard on the rubber stuff..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Not sure on the finish of some of our steering wheel,s but I do know you can get the wheel refinsihed fairly cheaply (if the finish has been worn off, or if it is cracking, etc..) or ust pick a new one up from a junk yard if cheaper. My friend had his refinished in his Cavy, looks brand new and it had 200k on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul79UF Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Finding a decent one in a junkyard sounds like a pretty good option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z34_nut Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Paint? I'm pretty sure thats the leather flaking off... In either case, you can easily go to a yard, and yank a near new condition wheel for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urbex Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Sorry to bring back an old thread... The steering wheel on my Lumina is starting to peel now really bad on the top. You really can't find any in a junkyard that are in better shape, most are actually worse by now. I was wondering, is it possible to repaint the wheel? I've used vinyl and plastic paint all over the interior of my truck, but don't know if it'll work on the Lumina. Also, what is the refinishing you're talking about? I've never heard of that...

mfewtrail Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I'm not sure that the stuff on the steering wheel is actually paint. I've heard of people using leather dyes on steering wheels before, but I'm not sure if that was for a peeling repair or just because the color of the wheel had faded.

AL Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I think your best bet would be to find a good steering wheel cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbex Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Well I'm not really a fan of the covers.... I tried that once, but it didn't work so well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
