They will eventually wear, if you constantly rub them & etc. Or lay your arm on it. But if you don't touch, or that much, it should last a good 5-10 years, before you need to re-do it.
You can get stuff professionally dyed. Which comes out better than the VHT can stuff. But the can is probably just as good. Falkeen did it to his Futura, and 4 years later, it looked, just like the day after he finished it.

Yep it last for ages , and if done carefully looks original . I used it in my XE years ago and it lasted years , as mentioned - a good 4 to 5 years before it started to wear near the drivers window from my arm/elbow resting there all the time. Pretty good for continuous rubbing of 4-5 years ! . Almost any automotive shop will sell it , vinyl & upholstery paint/dye .

Is this sort of thing suitable for painting the steering wheel plastic centre cover black? Mine's a kind of real dark grey and it looks stupid with the black leather around the wheel. Other Fairlanes with Momo wheels appear like this as well.

Yes, you can paint your airbag cover, with this stuff. Just in 5 or so years time, you might need to re-do it. To cover up, where it has worn a bit. But, on the other side, it may never wear. It depends how much you use it, and how hard you rub it. It's pretty good stuff.
romaniac got his airbag cover professionaly dyed. Suits his wheel & looks good!
