Hey all. I was salty that regardless of your paint color, the key fob only comes with a red stripe on it. I designed a piece to replace it for my key. This prototype is good enough to satisfy me, but if there is interest I could figure out production cost and make more colors.

Can you do it in Cu Later Grey?
Right now it's just a dyed plastic so that limits colors. It's really all about if it's cost effective to replicate. The more interest there is, the better the chance I can make every color. Except red ?

Looks good.

I love simple stuff like this. Hell I replaced my Start/Stop button for something nicer. Id be on something like this if you decide to make a few.

Definitely keep everyone posted. I think a dyed plastic with some flake and clearcoat could help imitate the CUL... at least when I'm over simplifying things.

I thought about paint, my biggest hesitation was that it's in your hands so much it might wear easily from contact. But I'm trying to keep it cheap, if I start painting it might get pricey. So we'll see how the math works out
