NP205 Shift Knob Home Made.. sort of

Saw a shift knob at the commercial truck store $5 so I bought it. I decided to have it engraved. $20. The girl did a nice job except she decided to correct my misspelling and added an "i" after the "N" ahhhh!!! You can see it if you look close. I'll just leave it with the i unpainted(Or I can have a transfer with a High Neutral. Anyhow, here it is; I really stink at painting, even with the troughs for the paint to lay in It's giving me trouble. But I'll give it a couple more coats.

That came out great. I'm surprised she didn't add a zero in front of N. Reminds me of the dyslexic sign painter I know. At least he doesn't do tattoos

I would use it,If it bothers you have a sign shop cut the stuff out of vinyl and clear over it on a new knob.

Things Remembered at the mall. I showed her a picture I got off the internet. and she matched it, except she added an "i" after the "N" don't know why. I hid it with gloss black. I also asked if she could do the a 4speed knob. She said No because of the lines. But what I may do is have her go over the numbers in my original, knob minus the lines, just to enhance it. I have both knobs they are just wore down.
