Marking on Maestro-C power button wearing off

Geoff_W8GNM

The marking on the power button of my Maestro-C is wearing off prematurely.

Perhaps some of the Maestro-C buttons were silk screened in a non-permanent way.

The nomenclature on the rest of the Maestro-C buttons seems to be holding up and the nomenclature on my many years old, 6600M front panel seem to be permanent.

Is there a fix for this? Replacing the power button on the Maestro-C might be difficult.

I was going to post this very issue but as I scrolled down the topics, I came across your post.

I have experienced the same, and my Maestro is only a month old. I wish Flex had better quality control on the manufacturing of this power button. Obviously, a bad paint job causing it to scratch easly. They should have coated it to prevent it from happening. A bit of a shame. It looks terrible.

That problem was evident on the day I acquired my8600K. Almost all the "pain" wore off. Returned it to FLEX where a new button was installed. Returned with the comment that they were using a new paint vendor for recent knobs. Roughly a third of the paint has worn off the replacement button. i.e. it's better.
My Maestro C arrived two days ago. So far no problem with the paint.
