Painting won't fix it. It's the leather itself loosing the top layer.

Your options are replace the steering wheel with a better condition or aftermarket one, or retrim/recover your existing wheel

The leather finish is coming off - there's products for that.

I once had a 30 year old leather gear shifter in an old car, that was a little bit scratched and worn through the dye. A leather trimming place I took it to suggested just dyeing it black again, since the marks were not that deep. I was sceptical, but that was almost 10 years ago and has held up great. I assume it's basically like that black shoe polish you can buy yourself, but much more durable.
