Key Customization

Maybe you could attempt to paint the tricolore stripe on the back. You're quite handy with the small details for a strongman!

I love it. Are you going to start selling these? I would like a custom black and orange fob please

Don't you want to try it yourself with after market shells?

The amount of time it takes and costs of material people wouldn't pay.

I wouldn't be able to do 3 stage borealis because the base coats and pearl coat do not have hardeners like a clear coat so that means the paint will remains soft under the clear, easy to dent and scratch. I'm thinking of buying a strip of 3M PPF to wrap the fobs at least. I saw on ebay a seller offering borealis as a all in one spray can. For things like this it would be great.

Just for this, mind you I could do several key fobs, but the cost of paints and primers was $175 plus +-10 hours of labor including flash time in between paint coats.

I saw online several places that offer custom key fobs, maybe you can find one cheap? The guy in Africa who does custom Aventador key shells sells them at $800 USD plus taxes and he said people are complaining about the price.

I wouldn't have near the patience required to do this job properly. I've always kind of just accepted the boring key, but you've inspired me to check out some other options. I'll take a look into the suggestions above. I did see the Aventador style ones, but as someone mentioned on the other site, they're very Aventador inspired styling and don't really suit the Huracan.

I decided to draw the lettering black.

Looks great! What type of paint did you use for the lettering? I'm thinking to do mine too maybe white with gold or green.

I ordered syringes and tried to fill it with black paint but the first drop into the groove made a mess so I dropped that idea. I bought the finest tip markers, permanent black marker (Sharpie brand). Sharpie brand has several colors, I'm sure you'll find a good brand of permanent markers in your country.

Would it be silly if I put a key fob in a diecast model? I'm tempted to do it. I wouldn't touch the original fob at all, just trim the diecast to fit the wheels and reinstall the bottom plates.

What die-cast is this? Id love to try something like this with the gallardo key fob. Its horrendously dated looking.
