ABSTRACT:
The basic material from which the steering wheel and the substrate from which a dash board of a motor vehicle are fabricated are colored a predetermined visible color. The dash board and steering wheel each have air bag assemblies mounted therein. The air bag container and air bag gate are also fabricated from a material that has been colored the same visible color as the color of the steering wheel and/or dash board in which the air bag assembly will be mounted. These components are color coordinated during assembly in a motor vehicle. The steering wheel, the dash board and the air bag container are finished or covered with a surface finish material that has the same visible color as the surface being finished so that when the finish material chips off the surface covered by the finish material, such as caused by deployment of the air bag, unsightliness caused by differences in visible color is avoided.
