Sticky Buttons

The "sticky buttons" in vehicles like Ferrari and Maserati are a known issue. These buttons are produced by leading manufacturers such as Magneti Marelli, Valeo, and other specialized companies. They often have a coating that becomes sticky over time due to wear and exposure to heat, UV light, acids, and moisture. What many people don’t realize is that these original buttons are not freely available and can only be replaced through official dealers at considerable cost.

However, these buttons aren’t all identical: some manufacturers use a white primer under the paint layer, while others produce fully white buttons. There can also be differences in finish: some have a textured surface for grip, while others are smooth. Despite these construction variations, universal use is made of the same special paints to ensure the original finish.

Large companies that restore these buttons often opt for a 'super white' logo, which looks nice but isn’t always authentic. Sometimes stickers are even used to replicate the logo, which doesn’t always capture the original look and feel.

Our sticky button restoration process focuses on returning the buttons to their original state, emphasizing authenticity and durability. We approach each button with care, as much of the plastic used is fragile and dry, adding challenges in keeping everything intact during restoration. We work meticulously to ensure the logo and finish match the original as closely as possible. We avoid deviating, overly bright colors and stickers that detract from the original appearance.

Instead, we use a template and laser the logo onto the button, just as is done in the factory. This process provides a durable and authentic look that withstands wear. When in doubt about the sturdiness of parts, we choose minimal disassembly to reduce the risk of damage.

By paying attention to every detail, from the primer or base of the button to the final texture and color of the logo, we provide a service focused on as authentic a restoration of the sticky buttons as possible.
