radio buttons chipping
 
I guess a common problem with the 2005 is the radio buttons paint chipping. I've been told to use a sharpie to color up the white chips. Has anyone used a touch up paint, I'm guessing a satin black or charcoal would be the preferred color.

Redoing the knobs is a prefered route indeed. Be sure to use plastic paint for the plastic knobs. Available in many colours and sticks like glue. Scuff up the plastic parts and wash with alcohol to get rid of oil from the fingers and spray all the knobs with two or three light coats. Then they will be better than new.

Painting the knobs is probably the best way to go, but I just use permanant marker every few weeks on mine and it keeps them looking decent, plus its a lot easier and quickerthanpainting them:)
