I would not paint it the same color as the car, because it will be hard to match.
And put a lot of clear coat on it. The painted consoles scratch and chip easily then look bad. My does, because it is the only paint on the car constantly being bombarded.

The console is very easy to change out, I swapped a carbon fiber into mine a few weeks ago and the whole process took about 15 minutes.

Gary,
Do you still have your console and is it in good shape? Mine has some what appears to be "sunscreen" wear and missing paint on it. I think we spoke about this before (been a crazy few weeks!) - I got my pedals installed, but I could use a couple pointers on the console install I am sure...

I do still have the console...I have a pretty open weekend.
Saturday or Sunday morning works for me. If you need help installing it. If you don't need help doing the install I am heading to pochatolua this Saturday afternoon for the renaissance festival and we can meet around there for the exchange.
