No problem. Just looked again at my knob. The letters are still legible but don't look that great. The parts that need to be white are stamped into the surface and my best success with this has been just dipping the tip of a toothpick or needle into the paint and then just painstakingly letting the paint flow from that into the letters/stamped areas. May give it a try, but not sure in my case it would be worth the aggravation I'm sure would be involved.

I think this idea has promise. I am going to give it a try. I'll report back how it went.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Seems like others would have posted on their techniques for this but maybe I am just lousy at choosing my search keywords
