↓To restore the finger, we borrowed a knob of a different color from the client and made a partial replica.

↓Roughly duplicate and shape using Plastic Repair.

↓Glue the ears and make the seams neat.

This is a part that is frequently touched when shifting, so it is firmly fixed in place with an axis.

The paint is then touched up to match the color and finished. The key is to work backwards to get the color because the ink is applied in black.
