switch repainting

I have an 87 IROC convertible. The white decal on the tonneau switch on the center console between the power window switches has faded. The switch is now completly black. I took the switch out and if you turn it a certain way you can still see the image of the tonnneau that has faded away. Is there a way to repaint the switch to make the tonneau image white again? Does anyone know of any reproduced switches?

I'm running into the same issue w/ my '92s yellow switches... The only realy option I'm coming up w/ is a scavanger hunt at the local yards... I have seen a handfull of white lettered ones on various parts sites, I'll see if I can find you the links...

CRAP! I know I've seen it in white some where! I can't find the site for the life of me!

It's possible I saw it on ebay at one time...

Here are some sites/people to try: www.camaros.com & www.houseofcamaro.com - goood luck!

Re: switch repainting

Is this the same for the coupe and convertible for 90-92. If so, here's one.
