I think I will end up painting the buttons, or get an extra set and paint them. I had to paint a while button with a black Sharpie because the shirt I bought has 6 buttons instead of five.
Nail polish is an enamel paint and might work well for buttons. I'd rough them up first with some sandpaper or a nail file.
My shops went well today, if overly long. From what I hear, you have great tips on how to get what the client needs, but keep shops shorter. These two today made for a marathon, my own fault as I am certain I talked too much! I think they'll have good info to work with, but my first shop bested one of my 4GB cards! Fortunately, we were wrapping things up at that point.
