motorfish:

I've been looking all around, and I haven't found an manufacturer that makes brown colored arcade pushbuttons. Does anyone here have a possible resource for these, or am I simply out of luck?

I don't remember ever seeing any.
You might be able to have a custom run made, but the price would be prohibitive, and you probably have to buy ALOT of them.

pointdablame:

I've never seen or heard of brown pushbuttons myself.

Short of having a run made like NoOne suggested, I think the only way you'll see a brown button is if you paint it yourself.   Is there a brown Krylon Fusion paint?  That's meant for plastic specifically..... I know people have painted buttons before with less than perfect results, but I think it's your only bet.

versapak:

You could try Rit fabric dye on white buttons.

It does indeed dye plastic, but I have heard that getting the color you are looking for can be a challenge.




ultramagnus:

the only place i have seen them is arcades, ironically.

having an intrest in minature (28mm scale to be precise) moddeling i can tell you it wouldnt be incredibly hard (and alot cheaper than having a run made by a company) to make a mould of the parts of a pushbutton you want brown and then casting them out of resin that has had a brown colour addadative added to it.

apart from that well, you could try painting or dying white ones, but that would probabally yeild dubious results
