The problem with the touch up paint is mine is much more damaged than the couple of spots the guy fixes with touchup.

The vinyl button cover things from Superior Restoration only come in black and don't have any overlays for Porsches.

The guy I found searching for steering wheel button repair is in Dallas, but the shop is called Fibrenew and does leather and plastic repair. Says he does the intricate work to cut an overlay for the text and symbols on each button. Sands the scratchs to minimize them. Puts on a primer to accept the dye (not paint) to match the interior color. Dyes the buttons the peels off the overlays to expose the white text/symbols and clear coats the entire button to keep them from scratching in the future. Says the process takes him about 3 hours except for drying of the primer, dye, and clear coat mainly because of the intricate work cutting the overlays for the text/symbols. Says a lot of other car brands he can get overlays already made.

Mechanic told me there is a local guy that fixes these, but uses water based paint and ends up scratching again very easily.
