Im spraying my heater knobs and have removed them. The middle one (the one with the rear heater symbol on) i cant seem to remove the gold plastic bit in the middle. If i spray it then the paint, primer and laqure will get on this and look pants. any ideas on how to cover it up to paint the rest of the knob?? i tried masking it but its too hard Thanks in advance

It will come out, just needs a bit of 'welly'. Try using a mini screwdriver or similar. Otherwise you could spray the whole thing, then when thats dry use a small paint touch up pen on the gold bit and mask the rest of the knob.

U wont be able to use to touch up on the gold bit coz its clear coloured plastic. U know the bit i mean? it seems lyk its moulded into the knob so it wont pop out witout snapping
