Default Radio buttons scratched off ... help with repainting them ...
Well, the buttons on the bottom row of buttons on the 2002 TT Quattro has worn off (the radio deck with the rubber feeling buttons).

Since it's only with the bottom row of buttons (which doesn't have labels on them) I would prefer to just repaint this with some type of paint.. but have no clue what type of paint would work ....

something that matches with the matte black finish of the deck, but also won't look fugly :P :P

anyone help would be great :P

Kind of like making the radio louder to fix suspension creaking and interior rattles

Default Unfortunately, since it's a CPO warranty, they said they can't replace it and that it's not covered.
which bites :X
