Default Fixed the chips in my Leather steering wheel

Lexus-Dark Taupe #13 It's a perfect match.

Red circles indicate damage. Sorry no before pic of the gear shift **** but trust me, it was worse than the wheel.





After:






I used the touch up kit and just painted the whole steering wheel and gear shift ****. I still have 95% of the bottle left. It also works on seats.

It comes with an epoxy kit to fill in cracks in your seat and then paint over them.

Tried it on my wife's Yukon and it was almost a perfect match. Would have been perfect if our leather hadn't faded.

It looks much better in person in the daylight.

Best thing to do is take a fleck of leather from the seat and stick it on your screen to compare. That's what I did.
