Red starter button cover

Just curious. Did you wrap everything that wasn't going to be painted in painters tape? How did you not get overspray? I love this mod and want to do it, but I don't trust myself..

Thanks for any additional info.

Does anyone know if there are any veeneer-like covers that snap onto the red lambo-cover? I wouldn't mind just making mine black and low key.
 
I would imagine you might be able to have someone 3d print it.

I had mine painted.

For reference the yellow paint code i used is LY1C which the dealer said was the brake caliper colour code… It’s an Audi colour.

I haven’t put a clear coat on top of it yet as I think like the satin finish but I may still clear coat it.

Not sure if I should have used Lotus LO7 yellow instead…
I ordered LY1C from an online site and it doesn't match the brakes at all. It's far less florescent. I don't know if it's the code or the vendor. Has anyone had a good match with LY1C?
 
Nice work. Can the flip piece just be removed? Is there a pin that can be pushed out and remove the spring?
 
Can you share how this was removed for painting or if you painted it in place, etc?
It was painted in place. They taped off the whole middle console. And covered the dash as well with tarp.
