1968 shifter plate

[John D.]

I need to repaint my shifter plate. Any advice on the manufacturer of the black paint that will match the shift pattern metal stick on and the heater control?

Also, How do you get the nice finished edge where the chrome starts?

Thanks for the advice.

I used Krylon 1613 semi-gloss black and then used a single edge razor blade to trim the paint off the raised lettering and chrome edges just before the paint completely dried.
