I'm assuming you used aircraft stripper? That **** is visciuos causes cancer. It says on the bottle that it may destroy some plastics. I did something similar while trying to strip a radar detector some dummy sprayed blue. Had to throw it all away.

At least it was only cosmetic and not TOO noticeable from outside the car. Of course, the person I am, I would look in your car and wonder how you got albino knobs.

That's good, but did you use an oil-based or latex on them? Latex always leaves a shine.
