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. :) |

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. |
