With the hard plastic insert separated from the rest of the knob I removed the remaining silver paint with acetone then cleaned and polished the black plastic. Here is the result.



The all black knob does look a bit Darth Vader-ish so I may go back and repaint it silver later but it does look a darn sight better than it did!

Looking good, have you thought of getting rid of the silver on the door pulls to match?
