I followed an online thread and did the scratched up grey console on my car in 'Arctic Silver', really Testors silver metallic model car paint. The stripping process was time consuming but not terrible. I used warm water and scotchbrite pad for the heavy lifting and made sure I each piece was clean prior to painting.
As for the paint process, I wiped each piece with denatured alcohol and a tac cloth. The testors paint is a plastic paint that does not require multiple coats or a clear top coat.
After a year, the paint held up very well. I did remove my console this last winter to do a couple of touch ups from the seat belts during the initial installation. I'm very satisfied with the look and durability of the finish. I know its not the same as a professional job but I doubt anyone would be able to tell without me sharing that it was a DYI job.
