Interesting idea this one - not perfectly executed mind, i can see it being doomed from the start and prone to some serious in-pocket chipping

but original idea none the less :smiley:
-
Good idea :) :congrats:

Like it very much VC, could you not gloss it with something to stop it chipping?
Also, could have taken the VW badge off, sprayed it, and then put hte badge back on to get a better and fuller coverage.
-
....
Sorry but I think it's pretentious.
It's also totally impractical in terms of surface durability. My VW key badge graphic rubbed off within just a few weeks.
-
I like!!
Runs to get can of candy white paint!! :laugh:
-
thats naff . a tad boy racer too

I think the badge only rubs off it you had a Metal Badge...the Rubber badges are fine! I have 2 keys, one that hads rubbed off, and the other is fine :)

I like it!

I honestly thought VC had painted his keyfob candy white and I actually liked the idea. But as stated, you would have to make sure you kept the key in a loose pocket without any other items. Even then with wear and tear, the look would be ruined and it doesn't even take much!
Besides, my car is black.

....And you only ordered your car in black to match your key fob. :evilgrin:
-
i did enquire at the bodyshop and they also said that it wouldnt withstand the pocket, they said they did a mobile phone to match a car and it just didnt last so put me off the idea - else the post would be of my key not someone elses :innocent:
being candy white it would make mine look very "ipod" and with a black .:R logo and the OSIR fob replacement chrome panel it would have looked swish imho
but simply wouldnt last, shame :sad1:
as for boy racer? its a key fob guys :grin: relax a bit :P

Not a bad idea... if only we could get the finish and durability issues sorted... :popcornsoda:
-
Nice idea, looks good IMO :happy2:
-
as the key fob is made of plastic, could it not be recoated? i dont know how, but just a thought
-
If its prepped properly and sprayed with a 2k system i cant see why it shouldn't last
-
get it wrapped :smiley:

good find, translator ?
-
it does appear as though if any colour combination could be had then a solid colour could be gotten :smiley:
i would guess its then just a case of swapping internals..

translated with babelfish...although this talks about key beards :grin:
With this exclusive article it concerns a radio folding key housing PQ35 in the BLACK look/piano lacquer optics painted.
Suitably for many VOLKSWAGEN gulf of 4, 5, 6 models, Skoda of models, VOLKSWAGEN Scirocco and trade wind models.
(Consisting of upper and lower part + 1 key field with 3 keys)
- >Die key fields are available only as 3-Tasten-Version, fit however without problems on an existing 2-Tasten key!
- >Die middle key (trunk) is then without function.
They can select from an assortment of 11 key fields freely:
Key fields paints:
- White
- Aluminum
- Blue
- Red
- Black
Key fields 2K*:
(Key color/writing color)
- Grey/red
- Grey/black
- Black/red
- Black/white
- Red/white
- Red/black
*2K means 2 components.
- > that is, the keys and the inscription squirted from two different Kunststoffarben (“pouredâ€).
- > the key field ex factory is only from a component with gelaserter inscription.
- > that means that your original key probably already loses its writing color after short time.
A 2K - Key field has from there an almost unlimited lifetime!
According to standard we send them the two Gehäuseteile, also completely installed key field, WITHOUT Panic key at the side.
i.d.R. only American models have the Panic key!
The Panic key is not yet available for this execution.
This concerns original of parts/original original equipment manufacturer quality! (No imported good!)
Please absolutely indicate the key field combination in the sales procedure, since we send otherwise a coincidental key field.
They buy the Gehäuseteile mentioned without electronic components and without key beard.
Key spare parts, accessories and batteries find you in my

ahh nice a helpful then :congrats:
-
indeed. i think all they are doing is using vw parts and spraying them anyway, no different than doing it ourselves without the postage costs and profit on top

Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
I would so do that on my key. It now lives only in a pocket with my wooly hat.
