iirc Bebs painted his fob with some normalish paint, and then baked it in the oven without issue, and it came out all beautiful and shiny.. if you're lucky he may pop in here, if not have a dig back in search, over a year or so.

yes I did paint my keys red and lacquered them after in the oven. However, they still chip when used so in the end I ordered a carbon key form Japan and it works a treat!
Looks the part. Here's a pic - let me know if you need any info.

You can get a red Enzo key (like the CS has) do a search it was discussed before.

Bebs like the carbon key.

Thank you both for your replies. And Bebs thanks alot for uploading those pictures.

That carbon Key looks amazing, can you point me in the right direction?

Where did you get it from? Costs ETC.

Thanks in advance!

US$270 when I bought mine - but the dollar was cheaper back then.
Ordered it on-line. Excellent service. Turned up by I think DHL later the same week.
Got a decent key-cutter with laser equipment to cut so as not to mark the carbon.
Perfect fit. I know a few other people on Scudrunners forum that has the same key from these guys.

True - you can get the Enzo key for the 360 as well on-line from the states. But its very expensive, some US$450-500 I believe.
and tbh, i prefer the carbon - goes with my seats thumbup
