Victrola VV-VIII Crank Restoration

[VV-Montreal]

Newbie seeks advice from experts!
The crank handle of my VV-VIII looks sad unpainted. I can see that originally it was painted black.
So what kind of paint would you recommend?

[Phono48]

Black enamel, which is what was used originally.

If you tempted to remove the knob, I believe it's a reverse threaded screw. Jerry

Yes jerry is correct rev screw careful not to break it off use wd 40 or something maybe rusted.
