    My wife and I both drive Toyota's and the key fobs look/feel the exact same. The only difference is her Camry has the trunk button. Has anyone found a replacement cover for their Fob yet? I'm starting to think about just taking it apart and painting it or something.

    Take her apart and paint it! i used the factory touch up paint ($6. I emptied the paint into my airbrush, then finished with a clear coat. turned out flawless.

    I think I'm going to paint it. I don't have an air brush so I think I'll just try to color match with some spray paint. It sounds like a stupid problem, but it sucks when I hit unlock get to the truck and find out I unlocked her car.

    I've seen silver replacement plastic on Amazon.
    The '10-"14 Prius Keyguardz covers fit the FOB as well.

    That looks great! How well is the paint holding up against scratches and blemishes?

    Surprisingly, its doing very well. Still perfect actually after 4 months. I even keep my keys on a key ring with several other keys.

    I laid quite a few coats of clear and let it dry and harden for a week while I used the other key. Im not sure which clear coat I used, but I would recommend them to anyone as it seems bullet proof lol. I want to say it was a version of krylon i got from walmart.

    I'll have to look into that whenever the truck gets here... Still have a long wait, damn DCLB assembly line!
