Default Radio Button Repair

I touched the radio buttons up, but they are looking awful again. There were a few companies that offered a laminate to repair the buttons. I've lost the link and found nothing searching. Does anyone know of the/a company? Thanks

Not the buttons. There are/were companies that offer a laminate that goes over the damaged buttons. I'd rather go that route since I feel it's more durable.

You could always get a water print kit, then clear coat the *****.
