Excellent work, I see this could be performed on vintage/classic car radios where replacement buttons aren't available or if a multiple set of buttons need this repair

Seems like the stickers would be much more useful if manufactured ready to install.

Cool now I just gotta practice on my patience and steadiness of a heart surgeons hands and I’ll be able to turn the volume up on my radio

Wow...you are incredible, good job 👍🏻

I am impressed!!! Great job

I have a 2009 Chevy Equinox and I can buy a new radio for 1/2 the cost of these kits from Superior Restoration. From the looks of this video it might also be less tedious to replace the stereo rather than apply vinyl to a few buttons.

I like the clear explanation with no bs. Just subscribed. And my '05 Prius has a peeling finish on the glove box button. Got anything for that? It's a dark grey mat finish.

The finished product actually looks good

Sand edges of where the button labels are fading, take a toothpick and dip it in the color of the label (white for the words, red/blue for the A/C, etc.) and go over where it is missing. Then use a toothpick for black. Once all colors are dry, use a clear coat of nail polish (or a similiar protective layer) and allow to dry. Cheaper, does the same job, and no replacing or ordering anything.

Nice video & good idea! We've got a cameo silhouette, so this would be super easy!

Nice job !!

takes work, the results are amazing

very nice idea men,,thank you.

Looks like you need real steady hands for this! A good five or six of the buttons on my GM radio are worn out like that, so I'm gonna have to keep this in mind.

That's amazing!!!

"Easy repair" lol this is the most tedious option out there. No thanks id rather go to the junkyard and take them off some other car

Most older cars have used radios for sale with good buttons online or at your local wrecking yard so an easier solution. ;) My car I just painted the buttons over with black touch up paint until I can find a better radio.

looks easy, nice

Man now you gotta redo the aux button cause you got so close to it with the heat gun! LoL That looks like a good product you have there

EASY REPAIR??

Will it hold up in the hot desert cities of So. Cali or Las Vegas, Phoenix and so on where it can get up to 160° inside the vehicle ?

But would this application work with the white background that is lighten up

How many buttons should I do at a time -- before I apply blow dryer? My radio has about 20 buttons. Should I do one at a time, a few at a time, or the entire face?

Awesome...:) 👍👍🥂

creative skills

Adorei essa ideia... The car end off todos nós OK?

How are the original lettering on the buttons made?

I had a 2004 Volkswagen Touareg, and after 4-5 months almost ALL the buttons and switchgear was peeling and worn off. It was the main reason I got rid of it at 18 months 13000 something miles. Had this product been around back then, it would have been a different story.

I have a light dimmer switch that's needs to be restored. Are you for hire? These switches are not reproduced and hard to find ones for sale in good condition.

Step 1: Do not mask around button to guarantee that you damage everything in the surrounding area when you sand down old button.

Looks pretty tedious time consuming and expensive, but I guess if you’re a purist looking to restore your existing equipment rather than just replace it, this is definitely the way to go.

Why not just have small decals to apply over it????

Jeff Kramer I Know this was almost a year ago...But if you are into Trim Repair! I usually just add the touch up on buttons if the vehicle im working on Needs Interior Work such as Leather Dye, St.Wheel repair or rapairs on trim or Extract/Dye carpet/Mats Etc. Just as a curtacy deal! Most Dealerships just leave you the To Do Searching for Materials or replacement parts but others are more than welcome to search. For example the button vynil stickers and have you install them for a small fee or in my case i dont charge them so long as they order themselves. On a weekly basis they keep me busy so putting on some decals is worth while.

I'd rather buy the program they used to photoshop those buttons.

The vinyl conforms to the curve of the surface.

Use electrical tape and exacto

I was cussing in my head picturing myself try that.

With most vehicles manufactured in the last 20+ years, Most switch panels, controls and radios operated using class 2 serial data, CAN (Controller Area Network-fast networks) or UART if older or on some newer "Peer-to-Peer" systems, like throttle actuated control. This makes door panel switches and many other controls more expensive and requires programming to share the VIN number, lines of code to tell it what vehicle it is in, as it may fit a lot of different models. Women do the most damage to switch faces because of finger nails. So, in short, replacing the button cover is way cheaper than replacement. P.S. Why do they use serial data to communicate? #1. Wire cost money and adds weight. #2. It allows for power control to shut off or turn on as it is a load to the alternator for fuel economy. #3. Most importantly, it allows a service tech, using a scan-tool to accurately diagnose the root cause of a failure, reducing diagnostic time while allowing "Flashing" or "Up-dating" a module, switch panel or other device to repair a known problem or change it's function for the better. Yes, this type of architecture is shared around the world, making the same repair, diagnostics and up-date in any county. Don't like it, blame the "Government" as CAFE number increase and emissions decrease. What is CAFE numbers? Google it! Retired ASE Master Tech / Ex-GM instructor.

Yeah 80 dollars is outrageous for 2 buttons on the heater/ac. Does all the tools come in the kit or you have to run around town looking for them? Probably not a good investment. Just throw some paint on them and move on. Letters not all that important.

Nah dude, just get a radio from the junkyard that isn't as fucked up and change the switches

Kkkkkkkkkkk right

FAKE the peeling is photo-shoped 0:26 compare the damage on the power button and 1 the bottom left corner peel has 2 points down, they both look exactly the same with minor edits. just compare the 2 buttons

Seriously! How about I just send the head unit in to you for an "easy fix".
