Ivory steering wheel paint colour/code

[Brennie]

Hello all
I’m refurbishing a 280 SL steering wheel.. I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction colour wise?
A paint code or the correct filler..
thank you

Checked the interior catalog and no mention of a paint color. Reminder OEM is not painted, it plastic. But my guess it’s Cream 2403

When I re-did mine, I used a 2K epoxy, specially for plastic to fill the gaps. Sanded everything and used an adhesion promoter prior to paint. The paint I used was an ivory colored spray paint that was mentioned here before.

If interested, I can can post some pics for evaluation.

For what it is worth: I have recently restored 190SL in DB158. I have new original steering wheel, logo button and gear shifter knob - all ivory. When the car stood in the sun, the color of the steering wheel, button and knob seemed to have been exactly matching DB158 (weissgrau) of the dash.

That is worth maybe something if the ivory color of the steering wheel of Pagoda was same as one of 190SL.

I repaired and painted mine.  I learned a few things.
 - U-tube video suggested using a clay like epoxy product that has the hardener in the center.  You knead the clay until all is mixed.  In the end, it did not stick completely to all the crack surfaces.  I would not use this product.  When I redo it next I plan to use JB Weld to fill the cracks.  Note:  I did use a Dremel to cut out the cracks.  This made the cracks wide enough to fill and the edges were clean. 
- If you have the ridges on your wheel, I put 1/4" tape over the ridges to keep the extra epoxy from getting into ridges.  When you are closer to being ready to paint, I would fill the cracks that tun through the ridges.
- Sanding is the tricky part.  You have to sand off the extra epoxy without removing the existing plastic around the epoxy or creating a flat spots.  Also the 1/4" tape helps to keep the sand paper away from the ridges.
 - Paint process is important.  I used a primer and sealer and then epoxy from VHT.  It worked well but I did scratch the paint when i got in and out of the car so i will do it again, I am going to try the process noted below and add a few coats of the 2K clear coat to add additional paint protection.
