Paint or no paint?
I just wet sanded the one so that you guys can see what it looks like just plastic. The other one with the keys is what it looks like before I sanded it.

I'd love to tape off the gray area on mine... and just repaint that, but then I'd have to make little stencils for the lock, unlock and trunk buttons too cause they would look crappy next to the new paint...

i still say pop out the acura emblem in the back and paint it black then put the emblem back in. worse case scenerio it looks less shitty than it does in the pictures and you can always buy a new one.

to tell the truth, it looks good in person. when i was sanding, the 3 horizontal lines are above the panic button got sanded down and when i polished it up, it gives the remote a 3D look kinda.

You would have to hold it to see how it came out.
I'll be looking for new ones that are not all scratched up.
