  • Speaking of center consoles...

    Mine is sun-faded. Whoever owned the convertible before me must have NEVER put any armor all or black magic on anything and now I can't get the finish back on the center console no matter what I put on it. Anyone paint this thing? or have a suggestion I should try?

    mine was like a darker grey when i bought it and i scrubbed it down with a bristle brush and dawn and it darkened it up quite a bit. On the other hand, it was mostly just dirty, and not sun faded.

    I've used the PROMAX plastic bumper paint, and it does a great job. Thin enough to show the veins of the plastic, and it seems really durable so far. Vinyl paint should work on the lid, but i don't have a brand to recommend as i haven't done any vinyl painting

      K, thanks. I'll check the parts store for that paint.

        I actually looked at that can today, and realized it wasn't PROMAX. PROMAX is their brand of enamel paints so I got a little confused. The manufacturer is SEM, and the color is "honda black" and it's just plastic bumper paint.
        sorry about that

          How about going to a junk yard and grabbing another console rather than painting it and having it mismatch looking?
