I just started cleaning up a grungy old '69 Chevelle steering wheel. At first I thought that it had blue overspray on it. Turns out the wheel was black and painted blue. Quite a bit of the blue had worn off. Is this something the factory did to match black wheels to other interior colors?

No. Someone painted a black wheel blue. Usually it's the other way around, but I've seen them both ways. They molded many colors of standard steering wheels in 69/70, but I don't believe any wheels were ever painted from the factory in those years.

Thanks Joe. I thought perhaps that I had just learned something new.....which is just about every day when tearing one of these cars apart.

I restored my 68 Camaro wheel and polished it with plastic
buffing wheel came out stunning, however I too thought that the plastic wheel was made of blue plastic ,when I saw blue come from the black.Thats when I pressed a little to hard and more heat was created while polishing the wheel. Then I was a little more careful to buff the wheel with a lighter touch and bingo the black lustre came back. Maybe they moulded the black wheel with blue plastic as a muixture. PJ |
