Chipped/scratched buttons

Has anyone used the button sticker kits available on Ebay?

2002-06 MASERATI CAMBIOCORSA COUPE SPYDER DELUXE BUTTON RESTORATION KIT

How was the result?

I see they've sold nearly 400 kits, so someone must have bought one.

Hi Graeme, you link does not work.

Seen some photos on Maserati Life. They look about as good as you imagine sticking a bit of vinyl onto a button.

Sending the buttons to the US for refurb might be far better, but I'm worried about the time and having them go missing.

If you could pay, plus a deposit refunded on receipt of your own, and get them up front, it would be much easier and less worrying.

I agree, it's the shipping that's put me off to date too.

Alternatively, put together a spare set (of hen's teeth), send that off for refurb and fit on receipt. Then the sticky set out of your car becomes a spare set for someone else.

I tried to put together a spare set for the GS a while back but only got as far as the window switches, which have now been returned to Matt.

I think this is one of those things where its better to pay a premium and get it professionally redone so you never have to deal with it again. Stickers on these switches will always look awful.

Hi guys
I am currently refurbing my set, with what seems good success. I did the centre panel and steering column shrouds in about an hour. I will get a better pic when I get to the window switches.
Secret? Not really. Clean with isopropanol and a cotton cloth, this takes most of the time - be thorough. Then spray with an alkyd resin lacquer, at least 4 coats of silk matt. Got mine at Lidl, Parkside brand, a gbp 2.99 can does the whole cockpit! They say the lacquer is recoatable, so in future a clean and respray should keep us all going.
As usual, do this at your own risk - practice on the underside shroud where it won't show!
Happy button pushing.
