DIY-How to make your key fob white
 

I received a lot questions on how to make the key fob white, So i guess i might as well post some DIY.


Tools you Need:
*a Needle(or a pin)
*a pry tool(I used nail polisher:tup:)

1. Use pry tool to open (pry gently)

If this DIY helped please Rep+ me:tiphat:

Nice DIY! +1.

Also, your nails are beautiful and now we all know why. :bowrofl:

THanks!!:inoutroflpuke:

Actually, that nail polisher is not mine

Pretty slick -- looks good.

Wow, your nails are perfect:wtf2:

wow, this is awsome! I am doing this tomorrow!!
Thanks for the write-up!!!!

You are so racist.

Gonna paint mine black! Awesome!

I never thought to do this. Now I'm coming up with all kinds of reasons why I should do it:
My Z is white
It would help me distinguish the Z fob from the Mazda
Its going to snow another whole s-load of snow on Friday, and I have some time to kill
My Z is white
It will probably only cost me $175 (the cost of a new fob once I screw up the first one)
None of my friends have a white fob (none of my friends have a Z, either)

repped you for the great idea and nice DIY!

Your nails?

Go for it. A new fob is only $86, you only have to swap the covers if you screw up, not reprogram.

That's pretty neat!

What type of paint did you use? I fear mine would get chipped and such...

Id also like to know what kind of paint to use.

I will probably be doing this over the weekend. I keep thinking about it whenever I look at my fob.

What did you use to reattach the Nissan/Z Logo?

id recommend using a vinyl dye if you have access. they sell it at most hardware/auto parts store. comes in a spray paint can and just dyes the plastic instead of putting a coat of paint, therefore it doesnt scratch off
