Thanks Metak!

I received my start/stop button from Metak this week - THANKS! I decided to add a little something to it - here is what I did. I selected the ring with the letters set into the ring. I took a small Sharpie, and put black into the recesses, then rubbed off the excess so the letters were black on the orange ring. I then sprayed two coats of clear over the ring to set the black so it would not come off with cleaning. Installing was as easy as Metak's video. The black letters are darker than the photos show, but my camera made them seem lighter. Here are some pictures:

Looks good.

I'd love to see a black ring with white letters....

You can fill the letters with wax and clear over it It will look professional. I outlined the steps in the other ring thread.

If someone wants to mail me a ring I can do it and post pics
