Steering wheel paint? The 166 wheel is either leather or wood .

Re: steering wheel touch up

Do you mean the leather surface has worn off, you can buy leather repair kits to repair the worn leather - normally for seats but should work perfectly for the steering wheel.

Re: steering wheel touch up

You sure it hasn't been oversprayed with a plastic paint, that is not keyed to the sub-strata? Strange happening, if it's what you indicate?
