Interior Trim Painting Advice Needed

I am trying to decide what interior trim to paint....

My car is black with natural brown interior. I have all wood trim that is peeling and cracking,.

(here is what I have) , but it is silver and looks horrible with my interior. I am going to have the pieces painted piano black. Here are the pieces I have in silver and plan to paint...

1) rear center console and ashtray
2) door handle and door compartment covers (both sides)
3) batwing and climate control
4) dashboard pieces that go next to windshield
5) key and hazard surround pieces
6) left and right a/c units

I will also have to pull off my existing wood speaker covers, e-brake and tiptronic shifter do have them painted....i guess my guy can paint over the wood (if its not cracking already)

What other parts should I do?

I could do...

-door sills
-memory seats piece (driver side)
-door compartment piece (passenger side)
-sunroof lights/button piece

anything else you can think of?

TIA!!

try Hydo Dipping

It's better than paint, its what factories use fo the wood grain effects and piano black effects.

problem with piano black is that is really gets scratched quickly

I am not sure how alcantara would look on everything...on the rear center console it would be cool...

here are some pics of my current interior and the ugly windshield pieces that are missing (wood cracked off)
