Red character Shift Knob
I got really bored, I melted red crayon wax over the numbers and gave it like 3 sec. and wiped it off. Cleaned access wax off with tooth pick and done
Not sure how long it would last; I leave an update if anything happens.
thanks,
Mike

Well I was thinking about a slow curing epoxy and Red Epoxy Colorant. But you know when you play with epoxy, it's kinda harsh or plastic, rubber, leather etc. ( it could warp or discolor)
I'll experiment some more when I get my new shifter.
For now, clear glue and a perfectly cut sheet of plastic.... :thinking:
thanks
