I refinished my shift knob recently, and it turned out great. Just pop the plastic (silver) part out of the shift lever. You need to gently pry up on the edges with something fairly soft, like a popsicle stick. The plastic piece snaps into the knob from the top, not the side.

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!
