    I need a good solution to refinish the steering column

    The steering column on the old Vic is badly faded. Anyone have a good solution? The steering wheel cleaned up really nice and even bought the old girl a new wheel cover . Now I need to do something with that faded column.... Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks all !

    remove the plastic covers, and get some vinyl dye. Its basically like spray paint, but designed specifically for vinyl and interior plastics. Just clean the covers with whatever it suggests to use, and repaint them.

      Or replace entirely if the plastic is chalky.

        I've heard of the dye... Any thoughts on a good brand?

          I have used rustoleum as well as duplicolor interior paint. Not sure if they have a good match to the color you need but their product does its job.
