23109VC,
I also have a dark exterior color and when I painted my console I did not paint the rear side pieces. As Boxtaboy states, you can barely see them because of the seats. The front side pieces I covered in leather. I have the ashtray delete tray and I left that black since I thought tossing keys, etc. into the tray would eventually scratch the paint. PM me if a picture might help.
If you do paint your console make sure the patch of felt on the seat belt buckle receptacle is intact. It's there so the receptacle does not scratch the console as the seat slides back and forth.
Regards,
mike
