Shift ****, has anyone refinished one?

The factory shift **** is my favorite, love the weight and feel but replacements always seem to go for well over $100.

From many of the interior photos, lots of us have worn OEM ***** that would benefit from replacement or refinishing. I know that people refinish leather pieces on restoration cars, has anyone refinished their OEM shift ****?

Seems like info that would be good to share.

Thanks
