Painted Center Console-Aluminum look!

My center console needed some TLC for sometime, but I couldn't justify paying $300+ for a painted center console. Here is the end product at a fraction of the cost! What to paint next??? If anyone wants his number shoot me a PM. So.Cal area..

Thanks! Yes there's a lot of pieces to paint, but the cost is hardly anything! Only thing is you have to remove the pieces yourself.

He can paint any color you choose. Either have the paint code or bring something in that he can color match. Make sure it's big enough to match. Thanks... Keeping it scratch and nick free is keeping the wifes L.V purse on the floor from NOW ON!

I always like the way this looks, but I am too worried about durability to do it. Report back in a few months!

I have had my OEM Aluma-look console for two years now and have had no issues with scratching or nicks. It has been much more durable than the soft touch finish in the car. I wouuld like to have a few parts painted. Please PM me the contact information.
