Tried this Knead It from Bunnings,after veeing out the cracks, sets rock hard but surprisingly easy to sand.
All going well I will Paint it 2 pack black tomorrow.

i have repaired quite a few steering wheels . here's some  ideas.Grind  out any cracks and clean well . most two part fillers are basically the same chemicals only with different amounts of talc to make them easier to work [sand] .i usually paint a sealling coat of water based acrylic [house paint] . this acts as an isolator .then you can dry spray whatever colour you wish and finish with as many coats of clear as you want.(//)
