Restoring steering wheel.

I need to restore the steering wheel on my Ford 3400 tractor. What to use for filler and paint.
Thanks

JB weld (quick cure version) for sure.

I'm sure the suggested materials would work fine. However the Eastwood company sells a restoration kit for steering wheels. If you care to check it out. eastwood.com

Along the same thoughts----has anyone applied Grip and Guard or Plasti-dip to a filled wheel for refurbishing rather than restoring? I think it would give a nice comfortable feeling for use.

It helps to pour a rust preventer on first. I did my Farmall with PC7 two part cans. I had lots of cracks so I coated it good then with a wet rag smoothed as much as possible to prep for final sanding. I have yet to paint it but will use an enamel with hardener called 1-shot lettering paint because it is UV resistant for outdoor sign lettering.It feels so much better in your hands now. Eventually I expect the underlying rust to cause lifting but I have enough epoxy to do it again. PC7 was nine bucks.
