Hi,

Testors makes a pretty comprehensive line of model paints that flow well and dry quickly. They come in small bottles that are the perfect size for what you want.

I used their semi-gloss white for a manual shift knob that had the pattern engraved. I assume yours are also engraved?

I applied the paint with a toothpick, allowed it to set somewhat and then lightly soaked a piece of newspaper in wax & grease remover and burnished the entire surface of the knob. This removes stray paint and defines the engraved area clearly. Turned out great.

Adnan
