Since the arrival of my new Porsche I have been wanting to have the key fob the same colour as the car being Sapphire blue.
Searching on the web I can only find the genuine Porsche items at over £109 per keyfob which is hard to justify the expenditure. However the various copies that are available on e-bay are not in the correct blue, so I decided to buy some of these clone copies from e-bay and some Halfords aerosol plastic grey primer and some aerosol car paint matched to Sapphire blue plus a can of clear lacquer.
The aerosol paint all in for £24 plus the clone moulding were £7 for a pair (P&P from China)
I am very pleased with the result. The clone moulding are a very good fit indeed with no miss match gaps etc.
The tedious bit was sanding them down to the original plastic, then spraying them with multiple coats.
I would recommend this approach if you do not want to spend over £100 the results I think are worth it. and I still have paint to spare!
The paint is a good match to the car as well, the only noticeable difference is the metallic fleck in the paint is smaller from the aerosol paint.
( I did an extra pair as backup).
