jp.oog switchgear restoration service

Window switch bezel: do you soul black only or can you match the twist colour too? Many thanks
Morning,

There is a perfect Twist match already available from Volico. Not quite as easy to obtain though as they’re currently not shipping to the UK. Maybe @Rickmeister might be able to assist.

Kind regards,

Tom
 
This is an excellent service, thank you so much for posting.

When I get round to replacing my door cards you'll have some window switches heading your way, not sure when that will be but by the look of the replies here you're going to plenty busy for now.
 
@jp.oog this sounds a blooming brilliant idea, and so glad that this is going to happen... I'm probably be a regular customer ;)

I'm almost certainly going to want an "Auto Light Switch" similar to @2work's, also could do with my double-din with heated roller's aircon unit refreshing too.

I think at the rate this thread is filling up, jp.oop is going to be a busy chap for forseeable...
 
Out of interest, can you (is it worth?) doing the switches for fuel flap and alarm on B-Pillar? I realise they still may be available from Audi.
 
Hi,
Early next week I'm looking to try and get the platinum grey colour matched in a matt or satin paint.
The black bezels seem to look ok without soft touch but the grey soft touch seems to discolour the base plastic underneath to a smokey tan colour...not good. Repainting them is the only option.
I'll post up some images when I've been successful.

The alarm button is NLA which makes it an ideal candidate for refurbishment.

Hi Andy,
Yes both the alarm button and fuel flap release are possible too. I do have the stencils.
I would not be able to offer an exchange service on either of them as I don't have working spares. Originals will need to be sent to me for refurbishment.

Hi Jeremy,
I'll post up pictures of Toms "Auto" switch bezel when done.

I have a headlight switch unit that requires a makeover.
Hi VAG fool,
Headlamp switches are the biggest issues in the A2 followed by climates. Though I have seen some appauling window switches and perfect climate panels in the same car? A smoker maybe?
Unsurprisingly my restoration service has been very popular. All units are cleaned of dust and tested before being sent out. Pm me when you're ready.

No problem. The whole assembly is needed as I remove all soft touch from the switches and bezel. Both parts are repainted and lacquered for a tougher finish.
Pm me when you're ready.

Hi Tom,
A twist grey paint would be ideal but would need to be a satin or matt paint rather than a soft touch paint as the old problem will just return.

A recent before and after. Fascia and buttons restored. Even some of the worst buttons showed a massive improvement @Jellybean

Really nice job.

My package will be on its way shortly, I just wish I could find a heated seat double-din panel to send you :-(

Cheers

Hi donp38,
All possible. You can either send them to me or I can send restored units to you on an exchange basis.
The switches and bezels are restored on all three units. PM me when you're ready.

Colour wise are you painting to match the colour of the early hard touch ( and some run out cars ) or the same colour as the soft touch?

Hi audifan,
The colour is satin black to match a hardtouch finish then satin lacquer to add extra protection. This is why the bezels and fascias are restored too.
