Are replacement inserts available for worn switch inserts (where the paint/printing is worn off)?
Or any pro tips on how to restore the paint/printing on original inserts? I searched, but didn't see any past discussions. Maybe I'm searching the wrong keywords? Attached thumbnail(s)

You can repaint the script with white plastic paint and a toothpick.

QUOTE(mepstein @ May 29 2021, 08:39 PM)  You can repaint the script with white plastic paint and a toothpick. That's the kind of pro tip I was looking for. My initial though was to dip the insert into paint and then squeegee it off so that all that would remain is the pain sitting in the grooves. I still may try that first. I think that might look more factory (the paint would be more evenly distributed within the grooves). My only concern with this application is that the paint could also sit within every micro abrasion and then the insert looses it's overall color. I'm going to try both approaches. I'll share the results. |
