Basically I'm looking at putting some buttons into the dash to operate footwell lights, rear spoiler, etc. But the prices for the real buttons is very high (£32 for the footwell light button). However, the price of the more common buttons (such as rear window heater) is very low, and they're quite common. I'm thinking of buying one of those, removing the emblem, and printing a new one onto it (properly).

Could it be done?
Yes it can be done. Sand the black layer carefully down until the milky white layer is visible. Create a stencil, spray black paint over it and afterwards a clear coating. That's it.
