Painted it Chrome, 4 coats after the dust coat, then let it bake in the sun between each
coat. To give it the duller brush look, I sprayed it with clear lacquer, gloss, and it
immediately took the shine down. Let that bake in the sun for about 20 minutes.

Am going to remove the console and repaint it semi-gloss' black, and try and touch up the
shifter.

Will also pull the cover/bezel that round the PRNDL indicatof, and paint that. I saw that it also
comes off.

Looks like it is removable; few tabs...

 

Yeah, looks like it can all come apart for painting:


May mask off and paint the center of the shift lever too...

 

some tape, some sanding, some polyurethane primer, some matte black paint...boom like new.

Looks good...

 

Did the center shifter cover today;





I probably should have sanded the texture off, smooth... May do that sometime time in the future
unless I come across a better shifter dirt cheap, or someone is giving one away. I won't buy the
brushed aluminum looking OE shifter for $200, nope...
