Didn't realize that they were so bad.

Amazon69: Fascinating! I will certainly try it, the results of your badge are outstanding. If I don't find the materials in Mexico, most likely I can find them in the US via Amazon. The added challenge is the threaded insert, which is different for the different knobs!
Thank you very much for your suggestion |

Alternatively re surface your knobs with an epoxy and lacquer paint

Actually, decent replacement knobs shouldn't be hard to find. The one shown is I think, one for the light switch as it has the knobbly bits around the edge. I think these are the same on Amazons. Someone like Mike Dudek might have some. Not sure if I have any, but probably. Others may have too. They would be postage friendly from the UK or even Sweden.

I filled with 3M Bondo, sanded and applied black epoxy paint, they look good, now it remains to see if they will last!
