What sort of paint is used on a car (QX56) interior. The paint seems to have rubbed off on the steering wheel and corners of drivers seat. I was wondering if the best option might be to paint it. Is this [for leather] paint sold at AutoZone? If I tape off and spray it on, will it look good?
The auto dealer recommends replacing the steering wheel and seat, but that is pricy. I guess I could always go that route if the paint job looks bad!
Has anyone tried painting a light tan interior?


I see this, but wonder if it as good as advertised?

Like most rustoleum paint it has a tendancy to come off.It is a
fabric vinyl paint - not made for leather Leather is DIED, not
painted.
