Scratch body experiments

[McCreed]

Do I paint the knob pointers too?

I wouldn't. The whole point (no pun intended) is to see them.

I'm presuming you mean the metal pointers that get locked on by the nut under the knob.

edit to add: (2 more cents)
I like the contrast of the chrome switch with black tip. I think the cream tip looks out of place more than tying in with the pickups.
