You could try some wet sanding and then some of the Krylon plastic paint in flat or satin black

does that match the "soft touch" paint in the interior?

I have no idea, but for $67 I would buy a new center console and just replace everything

Man, am I glad that I don't have the painted interior bits in my '99. All color is in the plastic

It's not too hard to replace. Be careful taking the shifter boot and side panels off though. The tabs on them love to break off.

I'm going to switch all the plastic interior pieces on my 2000 to the 97-99 plastic. I've never had a 2000-04 come in that didn't have scratched-up door covers and center console.

If you stripped that film off, you basically have the 97-99 interior. I have noticed that the film will somewhat peel off if its soaked in water for awhile. One of these days I was going to experiment on some interior pieces and find the easiest way to strip that stuff off. I'm thinking a light coating of paint stripper and a garden hose will take it right off.

Woody,
Would you have a driver's side door handle like this one, but not all chipped up?

It's been bothering me for 4 years now...
