Hi, I’m trying to find a replacement 5 speed (reverse, bottom right) gear knob. I want it to have 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc in Japanese, ideally the writing in orange. I’ve looked everywhere, even tried looking for custom made knobs… But just can’t find one… Any suggestions?
Thank you to both of you; this is so me!
It’s not what I want… The lettering is perfect. But red is a no-no. Has to be orange… Unless I can re-paint the letters
Pretty sure that if you get a fine modellers brush and your chosen shade of orange enamel paint from a model/art shop - the recessed symbols can be re-coloured.
I was thinking that… It’s worth a try, I guess
If you were going to try painting it, you may be better with the plain white version since orange on top of red may not give the exact paint match you want:
Also, when I needed to do some fiddly painting, I found a normal pencil dipped in the pot of Humbrol worked better than a brush as you could draw on the paint as opposed to painting it on.
