the brown trim, the yellow ambient lighting.........look terrible against that off red color......I dipped the S/S button black when I had my E class and it looked way better than that........those colors all together is why I give this project an F

Plus, for my new one, since there is a layer of varnish or whatever sealant over the whole thing it will never wear down

Agreed or even a metallic black like obsidian on the Benz exteriors... But part of the niceness is that perfect oem white print START STOP written on there

Don't know how the manufacturer of this red button did it but they stay it's a carbon fiber overlay and then multiple clear coats... It looks and feels like a high quality oem quality finish it's perfectly smooth unlike the oem silver start button that you can feel the depressions of the letters

You could get a graphics place (kinkos perhaps) do a black sticker of the AMG and then use this as an overlay. Paint the button your underlying color spray paint, once it's dry use the overlay, then apply a clearcoat spray multiple times and this will soften the raised edges of the sticker. If done correctly this could be seriously awesome
This is essentially what people have done when applying AMG decals to their calipers and then applying a high temperature clearcoat over that

Vdub. I think members would be more interested in the CF center console you have on you E63. Would you mind sharing a few photos of it and where we can get it. I am not a big fan of the current stock gloss black center console. Many thanks.
