Window Switch Blank Center Insert

[m73]

For many years I have been thinking of a way to cover up the extra shine/general grit in the center of my window blank and finally chose to do something about it.

I decide on 3D blanks & opted for a high-quality (soft black) finish to try and match other interior features. You can see the results below and my thoughts are as follows:

1) Fitment is good -- (pressure fit) although one can use double sided tape if needed
2) The flat black is a close match to vinyl but not as shiny as the power window switch center
3) If the center was shinier I am not sure it would match or even look good -- sometimes contrast is a good thing.

Overall I am very pleased with the results -- now there is less chrome to look at in the console + any dirt/imperfections have completely disappeared.

Looks might nice and clean.

The originals are hard to come by, let alone with decent chrome.

Next up, a refresh (re-andoize) of the two alu trim pieces on which they sit?

@TomHom was considering to start making sets. If he does, then take the opportunity and show your interest to Thomas.

Thanks Erik, Although I am not quiet there on refinishing the center section but who knows....

I would definitely dive too deep if I started now so time to be patient until another project.
