gear knob polish and paint

[bobsidlow]

hi

i have found from looking through the forum that scubasteve used to do this for a fee however there doesn't appear to be any other mention of this service elsewhere

is anybody able to do a gear knob polish with imperial blue writing leaving the R on the knob as red as shown in the link?

I have a spare gear knob that i can post to someone to polish and paint

thanks

bob

Possibly easier to get someone to do it locally for you, I had a local metal polishers do mine and did the paint myself with tiny modelling brushes

Best way is to paint first then polish the excess paint off while you're at it.

will try a local metal polisher for a quote etc

and do some shopping for paint

will put up result if it is a good job!

I'm pretty sure he just used to do them in a pillar drill working through grades of wire wool then metal polish

The site has sadly missed all the juvenile KNOB jokes since he stopped

local (ish) metal polisher did a reasonable job with my knob not amazing as he didn't take that much care over it (did it in between other jobs etc)

however it did only cost a fiver

he was busy polishing an exhaust at the time and looks like thats more his bag

it is a small business called bracknell metal polishers
