[R-390] Refinishing Knobs

[Tom M.]

I stripped some and painted them with Krylon spray paint with no primer.  That was about 15 years ago.  

Set up a 2x4 with holes for series of dowels.  Put each knob on a dowel and rotate it whilst spraying and then stab the dowel into the 2x4 for drying.

After dry to the touch I bake them in the oven on warm for a couple of hours (while the wife is out).

I've since painted motorcycle parts with zinc chromate primer first and then paint but knobs came out fine without the primer.

OK Experts....what seems to be the preferred method to refinish all of 
the knobs for a 390a?  Do you completely strip them, sand them, prime 
them, and???  How about the white line?  I have read that acrylic paint 
works well.

Thanks again,

Dave
