Painting your window switch panels.
#32
RR, did you actually look at the pics? They look great. $15 to $20 worth of paint as opposed to $200 for each panel. Most of our cars 07' are out of warranty and about 1/2 of 08's are out of warranty(hence the thread --G35 Sedan V36 2007- 08)
so unless your buying... I am painting

I'll admit they look 1000000X better. I would prob do the mod if I was in your shoes. My main concern would be the it scratching up again, but I guess then it's time for some more paint.

RE: windows, If they all don't work, I can only thing of a few things.
1st. window lock button is on(I know it seems silly, but I it happened to me).
2nd. Fuse or inline fuse
3rd. put together incorrectly
4th. Burnt the motor, I seriously doubt this one, as it is highly unlikely to burn all the motors. Look in your fuse box diagram and see what ones go the windows. I am unfamiliar with the G35 electrical system, so I don't know if they have an inline fuse.
I would "start" the car, check the window lock button and if that doesn't cure it, try looking to see if a turn signal is out, lighter doesn't work.. or blinking differently(first clue to fuse blown). If that doesn't work, take it apart and carefully put it back together
Good luck

Would you Please supply a link or proof of that price. I wouldn't have wasted my time sanding for that amount of money. But I am going off of what Infinity dealer quoted. Actually I was off a little, it was $240+tax for both to be replaced(still worth doing my own at that price)

I've tried sanding and painting a while ago, I was never able to color match to the black interior no matter how many different paints I used, it all came out either too glossy or too flat. Vinyl wrapping I found to be extremely difficult to cover some of the angles properly. So I've pretty much given up on that.
Junkyards only want to sell the entire door so thats out too. Some of the online websites that sell infiniti parts have them for about $30 each. Dealers have quoted me over $100 each. Only thing holding me back from ordering from one of the websites is that they list some of them are refurbs/used parts.

Here you go, and you can find the same part number for ~$20 on nissan sites but its not been confirmed to fit as of now so its a gamble there. I still think what you did was nice and im not knocking it off, just correcting a few ppl who falsely think that the bezels/finishers are >$200. Also these are new bezels, not refurbished
Also the rear bezels/finishers/switch covers
