So I am working on my Philco 38-116 and had to buy one of the lower replacement knobs and the switch lever knob, bought aftermarket replacement ones from online but they don't really match the old ones. They are new and shiny and the old ones are.... not. Also the color is not really matching so they sort of stand out. Any ideas on how to make them look the same?
