VW Themed perhaps?

My wife won't allow any more VW-themed stuff into our house or garage. Can't blame her...I just bought my 21st Bug...anyway....
blue Arcade Classics artwork, Black cab. The buttons, balltop MagStik, and T-molding are blue. I ordered 2 Trackballs: a blue 2.25 that lights up, and a white 3"...dunno which I'll use yet. The 2.25 showed up today; looks cool but may be too small. I got the mounting plate for the 3" trackball. I might paint it blue...I'll know more after I compare the trackballs side-by-side.
One note about the blue MagStik: I ordered the balltop stick as an upgrade. It is a light blue compared to the darker blue of the original handle (and push-buttons,T-molding, etc). I wish I knew that before I ordered. Now I'm gonna find out the joy of painting the plastic ball to make it match everything else. Home Depot has what seems to be the right color (Rustoleum, Sail Blue) but it is not for painting plastic. I had to also buy a special plastic primer that has to go on first.
The balltop was $14.00 before shipping. The paint and primer cost another $13.00. I just hope it has a nice finish and proves to be durable.
I think Ultimarc should have like-for-like colors, especially when it come to their upgrades. Or at least tell you that they don't match in their descriptions.
Ok, enough whining. I would like to say that Ultimarc products are top notch. This is the 2nd or 3rd time ordering their products. I am very pleased with their quality and variety. And shipping only took 3 days...from the UK!

I've been using that saw for about 5 years now. No complaints, it works like a champ. It also doubles a router table.

How's that? I have a Ryobi table saw and am interested in this.
