MM Steering wheel restoration.

Just wondering if anyone has knowledge of a company capable of restoring the plastic rim on an MM steering wheel. I have a few spare wheels and was considering an attempt at plastic filler and spray paint, but I'm not sure it will look right when done. What colour would you choose to paint it? I have seen all manner of shades of plastic over the years, infact in the garage I have red, blue, brown, beige, and a browny colour without the marbling effect.
Thanks
Tommy

i done one on my landrover.
used body filler in the cracks.
wet sanded, then primed and painted black gloss.
then 3 coats of lacquer.
