STOP!! Before you do anything! I don't recommend using any sort of paint. Better yet take a CRAYOLA CRAYON! Color it in that way and rub off the excess residue. It will look like its factory. Plus you can do it in any color you want! Trust me I did this too all of my knobs and they look stock with no peeling or mess!

Here is an even simpler method: use nail polish. Paint over the letters and the surrounding area completely. Then use nail polish remover on a kleenex and lightly go over the entire area. All thats left will be the engraving with nail polish in it. Want a different color? press harder with the kleenex and it will all come out.

Trust me, this method works great, is cheap, and can be changed VERY easily. Plus you can find nail polish and remover anywhere and in any color your heart desires.
this is what i did to my stock shift knob.

worked perfectly.
