DIY Steering Wheel Restoration on a budget with professional results!

November 17, 2016 Banner, C1 Corvette, How To

Our 1960 C1 Corvette Steering Wheel was in bad shape so we decided to do a Steering Wheel Restoration on a budget. We made a short video outlining the process which delivered outstanding results.

We used a product called QuickSteel Epoxy Putty to fill the cracks and damaged areas. We then used a high build primer and shot the wheel with PPG Acrylic Enamel paint.
