Thanks man

LOL actually it's funny that you should ask... because that was probably the hardest part.

I printed out the batman logo on computer paper 5 times (trial and error) to fit onto a quarter's diameter (a quarter is about the same size as the button), then I used an exacto knife to carve the batman logo out. After that I didn't feel confident just using a glue stick to glue the paper on the sanded button (because it could leak through the paper), so I tried to think of something else.

Suddenly it struck me, I had vinyl stickers left from the overlays I used for my black roundels on my car, so I glued the piece of paper logo over the vinyl sticker and then used the exacto knife to carve the shape into the vinyl sticker. Then I simply stuck the vinyl onto the button and painted around it.

Here's a picture of that process:

Looks great, can you tell me where I can pick up an extra button part in case I want to put it back to original?

I can help with that, the part number for the start stop button on the E9X is 61319154945, and I have them available HERE.

Also I can't get over how cool the batman button is.

I wonder if there is a part number for just the small cap of the button that snaps in?

It would be cheaper to order that and modify it rather than buying the whole button with electrical components.
