Argh. I've only soldered a few times and I wasn't very good at it then.
I suppose I'll just leave it as it is ;_;

Thanks for the response.

Do you know how hard it is to remove the switches? I have the time to remove them/resolder them I just worry that I might break one or the board (Which would be a lot worse).

Given your advice I'll probably steer clear of the tape and paint method.

Ah. I want to be really sure before I start.

It doesn't matter if you paint the black casing of the switches, just make sure that you don't get any in the small gap between casing and stem!
What about the holes in the housing? If I get paint in there will it get inside the switch?
