Abstract
A method is described for producing a motor vehicle steering wheel that is provided with a cover. With this method, the ring and cover are manufactured separately and are subsequently joined. In order to produce the cover, two unfinished parts are initially produced, into which a groove is milled. Subsequently, a decorative layer is applied to the unfinished part. A layer of lacquer is applied to the unfinished parts that are joined to form a tubular ring segment. During the following operational step, the tubular ring segment is divided into two halves, which are joined with the ring and thus form the cover.
