paint removal

[gordonr]

bit of a silly one here, the last owner in his wisdom tried to paint the gear numbers back onto the gearnob with a garish yellow paint , the mrs suggested using nail varnish remover to remove it ?
i would rather have no numbers on it than whats showing just now
its the wooden effect gearnob that had the white numbering

some of the white is showing through from underneath which makes it even worse!
dont know if i would be better just changing it
whats your thoughts guys ?

Be easier just to change it for something you like or try breakers etc for an oem,
mine on a 2010 v50 screws on and off simple job to change.

lol nothings simple when i,m involved , joiner to trade but never beem mechanically minded , worst of all is the exising one matches the rest of the redwood trim on the fascia and doors

Honestly in the long run I would replace it as well.

i always try to keep my car bog standard but i suppose a nice gear change won't be too razzle dazzle

Probably find an OEM one quite happily somewhere...
