Ab Buttons

[SolderMaster]

Ok, I have the colors...I just need to know how big to make the buttons...On the RT Ab, There is no "plate", it's molded on the Ab. The face of the buttons is 1/2". Should I paint the entire 1/2"? I'll post a pic if needed.

That would be helpful. Another option is to drill out the buttons. I ended up using VaderDave buttons on my TE2 for instance.

Here's my ab buttons:

I believe the painted portion should be 7/16th of an inch.

Ok, so painting a 7/16th" circle with the appropriate color on the appropriate button will do? Or should it be an actual button either glued or drilled into it?

Painting it should be perfectly fine.
