I'm having my steering wheel recovered so would like the trim on the horn pad to look better as well. The steel parts, especially the grippy areas for activating the horn, are missing some paint (not from me, I only use the horn when it's well-deserved). Has anyone painted the steel areas on the horn pad? It looks like a flat black to me but it seems every other black piece on the car was originally satin. Anyone know the correct color black? Here's the current condition of mine:
