I assume if it's plastic you'd need a plastic primer followed by top coat.

Re: Gear knob
Could you use a Halford's Plastic Wheel trim rattle can directly without a primer? Can't remember if they are acrylic?
That said, applying a proper primer is never a waste of time - a good insurance move in any case.

Re: Gear knob
My 1985 Excel is missing its gear knob insert. Should it be labelled 1-2-3-4-5 or 1-2-3-4-O/D?
