Light switch Nevada
« on: June 06, 2025, 09:43:27 AM »
hey guys

does anyone know if you can refresh the light switch on a nevada 750 so it looks nice and uniform and doesn't look worn out? maybe sand it and paint it, just think it will wear off quickly again? it doesn't matter if it turns gray or black, as long as it's uniform? or can you just change the button itself?
a minor problem but we really want our guzzies to look great

thanks in advance for your help  :thumb:

I’d consider a product like Cerakote ceramic trim coating wipes. Used it on my Subaru’s plastic bumper trim and it came out looking good.

Dirk_S thanks mate, I’ll try something like that in the first place. Haven’t thought of that. Sound like I good try…
Also read something about using a heatgun, think it sounds a bit   Risky…
