AS I said above, I went to a body shop and was then referred to a guy who sandblasted my console, arm rests, and a few smaller parts and ended up with a black, almost matte black finish. I had planned on painting the parts silver (the car is painte arctic silver) but was pleased with the look so had the body shop clear coat the parts. That was over a year ago and I've found the finish to be durable and attractive. I had tried to remove the soft gray finish using alcohol and stiff brush which didn't work well so I used sandpaper, again with poor results so ended up with sandblasting.

That leather looks great and good luck with your projects... almost anything would be better than that scratched soft touch gray.
