That is great to know, and is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
I went to went to a bunch of stores yesterday and test-sprayed a bunch of different brands/colors on a piece of cardstock to find the closest match. I found that RustOleum
Bright Coat in the Metallic finish, Aluminum color (7715803) from Home Depot was nearly an identical match. I was hoping to find a matching color in the RustOleum Universal formula since it's made to work on plastic, but the Silver Metallic color in that formula was way too metallic looking. So, I had to spend a few bucks extra to purchase a can of RustOleum Plastic Primer to make the Bright Coat formula work.

That's what I did and I think it looks great. I sat in front of the TV with a trash can and used my thumb nail to remove the silver. Took about 30 minutes, but didn't scratch the plastic.
Now I have a very unique shifter that never needs repainting again.

Thanks for the tip, but I think I'll stick to the original look. I'll have to post some pictures when I'm done.
