The Bone colored paint on my steering wheel is badly fading and I would like some advice on maybe some touchup paint or high quality steering wheel cover. Does anyone know of a website or brick & mortar with high quality steering wheel covers? Can I spray paint the steering wheel? In regards to a steering wheel cover, does anyone know if there are silicone steering wheels available anywhere (sort of like the silicone used for Ipod cases)? I'm willing to pay a high price to keep my car interior looking pristine! Also, my gearshift knob is experiencing this same fading so any help would be great, thanks.

You have me a bit confused. Adding a steering wheel cover is the cheapest way out. But your car will not look "pristine". If you are concerned with the cosmetics you must replace the steering wheel. You cannot paint it. The paint will wear off way too quickly. A dealer can get a brand new factory wheel and shift knob for you but they will be expensive. There are aftermarket shift knobs and wheels but the air-bag is a problem.

Forget painting...the constant use, skin oil and perspiration will wear away any attempt to paint or touchup either one. I would suggest contacting a local auto.salvage dealer for replacements. Being a 2000 model, there should be availability, either through him or on his contact network. In most cases they have mechanics to do the change out for you as well. Last resort, check the Toyota parts dept.
