Painted Center Console

[MoneyMike]

I finally got tired of seeing how crappy that silver looked on my center console, and started tearing it out the other day to paint it flat black. It took me the last few days to pop the shifter plate out. I didn't really feel like taking the rest of the interior apart just for the center console, and I just took the bolts for shifter box out and adjusted it as needed (not that it really helped much). I also painted the whole shift knob just for the heck of it (except for the chrome parts). I tried to cover up the "Shift Lock Release" text on the shifter plate, but it didn't turn out so good, so I'll be stripping it down and repainting it tomorrow. I do like the look of the pieces in flat black. Here's how the main center console piece turned out at least.
