Steering wheel

I am finishing up a full restoration of an allis wd45. Everything is new, but the steering wheel is dull, but not cracked. It sticks out from everything else. Any good tips on making it look good without getting a new one or sending it in to be re-finished. Can I paint on the rubber? Would tire shine work? Thanks in advance.
 
I guess I can answer my own post and I see there was the same question posted on 7-14. I am going to try the truck bed liner and see what happens.
 
My steering wheel was bakelite and I painted it with Rusteleum Paint for Plastic. If its actually rubber you could paint it with vinyl paint.

Paint it satin black. Armor-all or tire-shine will leave it so slippery you cannot grip it.
 
I used black primer followed by flex paint used on car bumper impact strips, don't know how it will last but it looks good now.
 
Use a primer for bumper plastic and then 2K black paint...Works for me on Ferguson steering wheels.

I've used plumbers epoxy with good luck. It's about the same, the best I can figure, to the putty they sell for steering wheels and it costs a bunch less.

Its packaged in a clear plastic sleeve tube. You tear off a chunk and knead it / roll it in your hands until the 2 components mix together and it's all the same color. Clean the cracks real good and push the epoxy in the cracks. It will get hard as a rock and you can file it, sand it, primer and paint.

You can buy the stuff in the plumbing department in most stores, I've even bought it at Walmart for like $5. Depending on how bad your wheel is, it's enough to fix a couple three steering wheels.
