[QUOTE="Bookwus, post: 190972, member: 3986"] Hiya Dave, Yes, as Doris has already mentioned the plastic portion of the wheel is the problem insofar as powder coating goes. Not only will it not conduct the needed electricity, it would not stand up to the subsequent high temperatures needed to afix the powder coating. I redid my steering wheel about two years ago. The prepped wheel was primered and given three coats of color followed by three coats of clear. All enamel. It has not held up well. During the summer with my hot little hands on the wheel the clear started "melting" with use. Left my hands a bit sticky. If I were going to redo the wheel I'd be looking for a paint (perhaps a lacquer) with better wear characteristics. [/QUOTE]
