    Just try to enjoy the process.

    The end results are usually great so if you aren't on a tight schedule, don't cut any corners (nearly every step has a corner you can cut).

    Shortcuts don't end well with this job.

    When you get it looking right, the time taken is quickly forgotten.

    Quoted from lukerp:

    Based upon the video, the wet mood appears reasonable. However, it appears I need a wife who's in the second trimester? That's going to add some time onto the project...
    In all seriousness, thanks for the help. I'll let people know how it goes.

    I used the dry method and followed the video by Tattyadams..... Worked very well.

    Quoted from NM:

    I'd be a nervous wreck trying to bull’s-eye a start button doing a cabinet dry.
    Would love to see a video that makes it look easy.
    I'd still be freakin' though.

    The coin door is the key decal to get right. I shine a strong light from inside the cab to line it up. Seemed to work very well for me.

    Quoted from McCune:

    Just like Bryan does . I have done the light thing too but results can very depending on light angle and shadows. The impression method is spot on.

    Good tip.

    The light I use is a circular fluorescent - the one that board repair guys use. It seems to put out a very diffuse light - maybe it helps??
