Brand NEW COLORED Gear knob and Indicator knob Sets

[Payne62]

Hi FB/EK Community thought I would share some recent efforts.

I am in the process of restoring my ’62 EK after 20+ years in storage. As part of that process I wanted a ‘Wedgewood Blue’ Gear and Indicator knobs to match my interior – this decision was made after my old Gear knob disintegrated.
Not finding a source and not wanting to just paint over 50 year old plastic I decided to manufacture my own set. After much trial & error and some’ major learnings’ I am very happy with the final output. Actually I’m stoked how good this simple change made to the car’s interior.
Anyway, while I had the tooling / vacuum systems etc. set up, I decided to use the remaining plastic resin with the current pigments/colors I had available, to create a range of color sets in Single color, Metallic and Pearl styles.
These are all solid color cast from high grade plastic resin.
I have attached a few photos of the resulting batch. (Except for the Wedgewood Blue one that's obviously on the car).

Interested to hear comments particularly what color/styles people prefer.

Cheers

That looks the business!!!
Great variety and bright colours as well. Are you or will you be advertising these for future orders??? Just curious.

Thanks for the feedback

Yes - If people are interested in them. (Although they are a bit of a pain to make)

Particularly if I can get a sense of what colors people are looking for, then I can search for the right pigments and focus on those. Right now I have just used what I thought would look good from what I had available.
I like the Gold Pearl and I reckon the Red and the White ones would look great on a Red/White interior. I did an Ivory one too but I must of left that in the shed as I noticed it's not in the photos.
I have also done a few standard black ones too.

As for this batch I thought I'd possibly try listing on Gumtree or Evil Bay to gauge interest.
