Default Peeling Steering Wheel Emblem

Hello folks, my steering wheel emblem is facing some peeling looking like this on front and on the inner sides:




anyone knows a solution? Maybe a chrome paint ? I have been looking for a replacement but cant find it, seems it only comes with the airbag module.

Solution could be to make it bling..but.. not my style

Wrap it in carbon fiber, it'll make your car 10% faster

Will try to fix it with sanding and this:

You COULD tape around the emblem, cover the interior with garbage bags, and then use something like Plastidip to bring some life back to it, no sanding needed. It's not as durable as paint, but if you screw up and get some on the interior, its MUCH easier to remove. There's also a spray you can get to harden the dip up a bit, I used it on my wheels and it works really well. The pen might be a bit blotchy, but worth a shot. Good luck.
