Shift Knob Sequence Pattern
 

I've got a question on the leather-wrapped shifter knob. I'm interested in retaining the stock shifter but I want to paint the indented shifter pattern on the knob white. 135R
246

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how this could be done? Is there some sort of decal that could substitute for the paint?

ummm... i guess the question is why? :confused:

Just with normal wear the paint would ware off

But the question is why would anyone need to do this? It's not like you need a reminder of which gear is what. :icon14:

I'm pretty sure there is a vendor here that sells a sticker with the shift sequence, that could be placed somewhere in the interior. But since you have the sport package, I'm guessing you aren't just looking for the shift sequence to be more pronounced. Just trying to help!

To answer Why............I'm having some custom interior work done and the detailer said he has done similar work on porsches and little details like the shifter sequence helps make the interior "pop"

Only issue is is there some decal type solution as I agree paint would wear off too fast

I have the decal that is supposed to go on my Nismo knob. Not sure if it would fit though.

The sequence is already on the Syncro-Rev button!

Maybe you could find a guy who does interiors and he could stitch the pattern on the knob. He'd probably have to pull the leather off, embroider the sequence, and then reassemble the knob. It'll cost much more than just buying an aftermarket knob.

There is a nice leather NISMO knob that has white lettering on the top of the knob (NISM in white and O in red). Again, I've not seen the look you are after and am just brainstorming here. I obsess over shift knobs and know that if I have a picture in my head, nothing else will do.

Since it is indented, I think it would last pretty good.

I'd suggest a paint pen and some careful application, or hire a pin striper :)

BTW, there is special (acrylic) paint for leather, and I assume white shoe polish would also work.

Thanks for the input to one and all.

I'm probably not going to go ahead with it. Seems like a huge effort for such a little change. Although it would look great when integrated with the other upgrades

I like how the bmw M Cars have the Sequence Light up in RED with the ///M in the middle.....:tup: nice touch.

yah, just get another shift knob.
