I will be using an oil based enamal on recessed anodized ( rough oxidized )surface with a clear protective coat...it isn't going to just rub off.
Magnet_Eye:
YES! and the beauty of the Sharpie is ease of use..you can always re-paint in 20 seconds...
i do this with many objects, like my chrome belt buckle with a naked woman on it like a mudflap...i have to re-paint that thing every 2-3 weeks. no problem, its painless...
Howard is just a stick in the mud. always raining on parades. :-\
party on! 8)
paigeoliver:
I have always used sharpies extensively in arcade game cleanup. Good for those rusty bolts that you don't want to take out to paint because they hold the cabinet together. Great for touching up almost anything black.
MinerAl:
If you really want it to last a while (and a ton of color choices), fill the recessed logo with crayon wax. Scrape a crayon back and forth acros the top til the logo is full, wipe off any excess on the flat, and then hit it with a hair dryer to stick it all together. (We used to do this with skate board wheels back in the day.)
Or, I may be full of crap. It's late, I can't tell.

The SlikStik aluminum skirted knob comes really close (actually, I think I like it better than the original Tempest knob!)
The domed top and side contour really make gripping the knob easy, especially for quick changes of direction (which is the definition of Tempest play ;)
