How to restore a steering wheel?

I have seen somewhere, someone stripping the coating off an old steering, and then plastic coating it.
But is there a normal way to do them?
And how should you strip the lacquer/paint off? (is it lacquer or paint?).
Cheers

My Restoration process for the steering wheels is stripping the out hard coat with a plastic media blaster, opening up any cracks or damage with a dremmel and filling them with a urathane repair product. After that they are boderworked, and primed before spraying a new hard coat finish on them.

I can't seem to up load any photos, it is currently squirrelled away in the loft anyway!

What kind of coating is it?

It’s a Urethane coating, gives it a hard outer coating again and holds up well, other than it’s a bit to glossy.
