Centre Console

I like your positive attitude! :yesnod:
Has it got that rubberised finish on the console? Apparently nail varnish remover is perfect to take it off without damaging the shiny black plastic underneath.:shrug:

I thought about using solvents on it but in the end I just used 220X sandpaper and it came off easily.
I got a couple of coats of silver on it last night. I used a Krylon plastic paint as a primer and was planning on using silver wheel paint as a top coat but the Krylon looks so good I may just clear coat that.

Ha! I took a look at the console this morning and it seems I didn't get all of the texture off (I had eye surgery on Wednesday and my eyes are still wonky) I do like the look though. Regardless I am too da*n lazy to strip the paint and start again so I think I will use the console as-is. I will give it a bit of a clean-up to remove some dust, and possibly a clear coat.

Looks good from here! :thumbsup:
