Following this video instruction was so much fun I did it to all of my cars and all of my friends' cars as well!

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.

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

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

The finished product actually looks good

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

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.

"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 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.

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

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.

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

[Gkitchens]

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.

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

I have a Sony Stereo that was aggressively scrubbed on the face. I wish I could restore it to full glory!

[rizdoogan]

My god i think i will buy a new radio before i would go through all that .

[NinjaNarutoJapan]

Wow...you are incredible, good job 👍🏻

[rustylindamood]

would be easier to put an "info" sticker on it and paint the rest of the button then remove the sticker to reveal the white "info" underneath. Easier and faster. Then that fancy brush you showed us is really useful

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