You could try cleaning. Its filthy

I don't think it's dirt..it's worn off paint

Clean it or repaint it.

>do I need oil based paint
Why would you need oil based paint? It's a knob not a canvas

>>15804084
Then I'm guessing any interior paint will do?

It buildup from makeup or hygene products- notice the paint of the headlight markings are still there

Painting it is a waste of time.
Buy new or head to the junkyard and get a nicer one.

The whitish stuff looks more like buildup of gunk from your dirty hands. Sunlight and summer heat then bake it on. You need to wash your hands before you operate your car. If the gunk is hardened on and you don't want to scrape it off because that will add shiny scrape marks to the plastic, you can dampen a folded strip of paper towel with cleaner and wrap that around the dirty area to soften the gunk before you rub it off. Don't wrap the paper towel over the printed lettering because acidic hand oils can weaken printed lettering over time and your long time duration of cleaner could possibly be the last straw that makes the printing fall off.

A few minutes should be long enough.

A rough cotton rag is far better to abrade off this kind of gunk than microfiber which glides over it.

just go to vatozone and get some armorall cleaning wipes and clean that shit up
