Once you get it off of the knob, then you can strip it of the paint, or re-paint it. I used some generic silver paint, then used clearcoat over that. I think I did two coats of silver, and three light coats of the clear, all rattle cans.

This was a project that turned out to be easier than I expected!

Thanks! I tried once before but it wouldn't come off. I thought it might have been glued but it looks like I didn't try hard enough. I found it easier to start on the bottom
