The silver strip above the push button opening is many times worn, sometimes down to the black plastic. This lens was not too bad but I opted to repaint it to demonstrated my approach. I first very carefully mask off the area. If you look at my previous pics showing the polishing supplies, you will note a pencil and a Metallic Leafing Pen. The pencil has a small strip of sandpaper taped the the eraser end. I use this to sand off the old silver paint. The eraser head provides a little useful flexibility. I then paint it using Rust-Oleum American Accents Metallic Silver Leafing pen. This is not an exact match but very close. You may notice that this lens has a small crack in the upper right portion. In this case it is OK because the crack is hidden by the radio bezel once installed. Now the lens is finished.
