White joystick or replacement knob
(1/3) > >>
DrewKaree:
I know...I said "replacement knob".

Seriously, has anyone seen a white joystick, a white replacement top, or have an idea of where/how I might fashion one easily?  

I'd REALLY like to purchase it rather than have to make it, but if need be, I have a drill press and tap & die set.  I will not make one out of wood, even though it'd be the easiest solution, because it won't jive with the other joys "feel".  Anyone ever paint their joys too?  They make that new Fusion paint that's supposed to stick REALLY good to plastic....mebbe I'll practice on the refrigerator door handle.  All ideas are appreciated.

I used some of that fusion paint on a little tykes picnic table that my kids have. It seems to scratch easily and might not hold up on a joystick.
DrewKaree:
Is that the table with that pebble texture to it?  Wish I had a pic to explain, but I'm sure you'll know what I mean since you have kid-type projects

I've got a Wico 8-way that has a white knob.

I haven't seen too many of them, but they are out there.
Most of them are probably in the same shape as mine though.
(Slight pits, discoloration, etc...)
DrewKaree:
I've been looking today, and it's like writer's block, I just can't figure out other search terms for this or the ones I'm using are less than stellar.

I've also contemplated Plasti-Dip, but haven't checked to see if they have it in white.  That's where I'm off to now.  I may have to rethink the color scheme I wanted to use if I can't find this.  

I've got Happs Competitions that I'm wanting to replace, in case that helps anyone.

Thanks for the tip on Wico's NoOne.  I'll be checking that too, now.
