So I think I finished up Ms. Pint's start button with the blue LED swap. Definitely can tell it was my first attempt at soldering tiny a$$ objects like these LEDs. Some of them look great while others look Plus, I kind of might have damaged the circuit board If it works, GREAT! If not, I think it's trashed lol - that's why I bought an extra one to practice I think I just need two more tools and possibly a helper and I can do the swaps much quicker and cleaner.

So I get in the car to take out the pieces to test the start button. I get as far as taking off the shift knob and the shift boot trim. Since I detailed the interior this morning, I decided to take the shift boot and trim apart to deep clean them. Next thing I know, I find myself sanding the silver trim and prepping it to paint. I back the car out of the garage and have two layers of adhesion promoter and about to spray the base coat.

Sorry, Ms. Pint, your start button is on hold
