I actually decided I wanted gold colored push buttons myself as well.  I had a bunch of red buttons that I had purchased before I completely changed the look of my cab, and I didn't want them to go to waste.  My wife's solution was to spray paint the suckers brass.

I was worried that they wouldn't work right after that, but they almost all came out fine.  There was one that I had to push quite a few times to work out the stickiness of the button, but after that, it was all good.  And, the buttons are pretty cool, I think... Definitely original.   :)

Easier said than done, especially if no CNC is readily available.

If you come back with a response about access to a CNC which doesn't cost me my first born, let me know. I'm serious about that.
