I was wondering if anyone knew a good inexpensive way of making a steering wheel keep from turning your hands black. I have a H, M and a M5. I have painted the steering wheel on the M when i painted the rest of it. I know the obvious answer is to buy a new wheel. Thanks for and suggestions. [Reply]   [No Email]

Looks like I'll be painting the H and the M5 soon. I extremely dislike wearing gloves. [Reply]  [No Email]

So I filled in the low spots with silicon caulk and wrapped it with bicycle handlebar tape. Easy to do and gives a textured surface. It has been on several years and is still nice and shiny.

I went to O"Reilly"s and got a can of black spray-on truck bed coating, pulled the steering wheel off,laid it on piece of cardboard, and sprayed the plastic. Several times, front and then back. It looks fine, has a good very grippy surface, is black. I sanded the sharp edges off, sprayed it a few times more. I like it a lot. [Reply]  [No Email]

Then seal it with something or wax it... Then throw a towel or something over it when sitting in the sun. And wear gloves so you don't fill it with grease from your hands. That's the cheap way.
