Shuttle Roof Switches in black?

I don't think VW do them in black, could be wrong though.
If you check out New Wave Conversions on Instagram, they have their conversion van plastics painted black by an external company that they mention on a couple of posts. I don't remember the name of the company, but going by NWC prices I doubt they'll be cheap.

Just messaged them now and they are local to me! cheers
I have sprayed all my grey plastics in black.
I used PlastiKote Super Multi Surface Spray Paint in Gloss Black.
Make sure you sand the surfaces before you spray them though. I used wet and dry 1500 to make sure there was a good key for the paint.
Had no issues at all with them in 2 years.

I like you plan! Exactly the same issue with mine. Have a look at this conversion and maybe we could ask what did they do with the switches, handles…

Did you do the headlining also?Do them yourself, save a fortune for other mods
This looks awesome, love what you have done.
I certainly did, not paid for any of my retrim, did it all myself.
Yep, it’s not easy. Just make sure you get decent trim glue and let it dry on both the headliner and the suede, that way it will hold when you need to pull the suede to fit the contours.
It’s Cadbury purple.
That I can’t recall, Will dig our the company for you.

Was this a task? I was planning on doing in on the lounge table with the wife...... so could be a few arguments there! with regards to my white AC/Heater switches I will tackle that another day. Any tips on installing the lining?
