Default Button decal and Leather repair?

Two questions:
1. Button Decal: My trunk release button works but the white decal on the button has worn off. Has anyone had any luck getting a decal to fix the worn off decal.
I know some companies make decals to repair worn climate control buttons but I can't find any for the Lexus trunk release button.

2. Leather Repair: My passenger side arm rest has a small ding (indention) in the leather (saddle tan). Has anyone found a pre colored leather repair filler for something like this?

Thanks

Retroplay 3d printed out a button for himself, but his goal was to add backlights to the two buttons. (They really need a backlight too!) In his quest, he also found some buttons from different vehicles that could replace the OEM buttons (with the goal of backlighting them). If I get time I'll try to track down that thread, meanwhile, you could do a search on that also. I'm pretty sure that Retroplay was the OP on it.

Here’s the link to Retroplay's thread that Harold mentioned: Trunk switch, unfortunately there was no conclusion, other than the initial title, or parts list.

In terms of leather repair, there is a company that apparently services many US cities. I was driving in traffic next to their van and decided to call. I will have to speak with the tech and make an appt for an estimate as they are a mobile service. Feel free to look them up, Creative Colors International. Their slogan is "We can fix that!" Hopefully cheaper than the seat cover route. Will keep everyone posted.

Little bit of a long shot but you never know until you look....you may be able to buy a junk yard passenger side armrest for same as repair cost (if you can find a matching arm rest in good condition).
