Steering wheel repairs – You will need a two part epoxy - 2 sticks of stuff mixed by hand to get a ball of stuff which you can mould into the missing places. I use “Pratley's Putty” out here.
Finish it off as neatly as possible, Pratley's works off well with a bit of water - the better you finish it, the less you have to rework with a file & sand paper
Once you have filed and sanded the repair to be smooth & the joint to be as seamless as possible, you can then paint the complete wheel with an epoxy primer & a black epoxy topcoat. Obviously you would need to check with your paint supplier to find a primer & paint that will adhere to the plastic of the steering wheel & follow ALL of their instructions / guidelines.
Caution, even though epoxy paint is tough, wedding rings etc will scratch the painted surface, so be careful.
