[QUOTE="DacMan, post: 364266, member: 15073"] I have used it very successfully on a 60's garden tractor steering wheel. The thing to keep in mind is how hard of a plastic is you steering wheel? If it's cushioned I doubt you'll have great success. However since it's chaullky I'm guessing it's hard. So I wouldn't hesitate to use krylon fusion. If you want it to look good and last; preparation is key! Your steering wheel has seen many a greasy slimy hands from maybe fish or oil (idk if your boat has a two cycle but possible from there) and more than anything just the oil in the skin of your hands. Take your time to find a good cleaning agent that leaves no residue (I think I remember hearing something about "tri-phosphate" being a good plastic cleaner), wipe the wheel down thoroughly. One thing I have found with using krylon fusion; if you wipe something plastic down with a solvent and don't wait a few hours for the solvent to flash off, many times the paint will orange peel because solvent can remain deep in the porous areas of the plastic. Better to wipe down thoroughly, leave a while then come back with a tac cloth and remove any dust then paint. One last thing. Don't sand anything plastic! Krylon does not always react well to sanded plastic surfaces. Good luck [/QUOTE]
