ECT Stealth PRO shift knob

TBH, I ordered the red kit and don't mind the color, just glad to get in a MESO drop. I think I'll get a red accent kit just for kicks.

 

Buy the black ones?

 

Good answer… GOOD ANSWER!

 

I think you could use any Good name brand paint made for plastic. Just dont put it on too thick so it doesn't effect the function of the button. If you bought the complete shifter, just remove the buttons before painting.

 

I would have, but they had sold out hella fast. I was referring to the use of a paint marker, spray paint, nail polish, some thing that would work on the material that was used to make the red buttons.

 

Oh, I got ya. This guy does it, someone on his thread might be able to find out what paint he uses.

I tired the paint pen, and was OK for black. Still not as consistent as black threads. Ended up having it re-wrapped and sewn with tan stitching to match the rest of my interior parts

 

You didn’t want to offer us custom stitch colors? Come on, you are slacking

 

Maybe if they had LEDs in the stitching...

 

Will there be another drop for Red shifters? I was signed up to get an email for the next drop but didn't get notified. Only knew about the last drop because I was reading through this thread.

 

Ah ha! Now it comes full circle (I think)! Your pics were throwing me for a loop because it looked like the buttons were MGM to match the other TRD emblem on the front of the shifter...and so they are really in fact MGM and it was achieved by a one-off Meso Custom job. Is that about right?

 

That is correct. I have seen some members paint theirs white, red, blue and quicksand. One even had theirs restitched white as Meso mentioned earlier. Looked great.

 

I’d use a sem Trim paint unless you want cheap go to Walmart

 

Geez that's the gold standard for me (ie MGM); very nicely done

 

I might be getting rid of mine pretty soon. Red.

 

Was stated after the drop, there were more pro knobs on order, so I’d assume when those get in it shouldn’t take long for them to be made available

 

Has anyone tried the second switch to the OEM front camera switch on the left lower switch panel? I'm trying to determine which wires to tie into.

 

@MESO any update on the TRD backlit led trim pieces for the pro knobs?

 

Same question. I assume there might be need of some sort of conversion switch, due to the selective nature of the MTM camera button? To be honest, I barely made it through my electronic's class in tech school. Still don't get flip-flops.

 

I have a flip flop being delivered on Monday. I'll test it out and report back. Not for the camera though.
