Default Painted the console
Well, I decided to paint the console on my 95'. I followed directions from another thread and sprayed some Goo-gone on the console, but, it almost started to dissolve the actual plastic. Luckily, I caught it before it happened.
I then sanded everything down with 400 and an interface pad and used some SEMS aerosol to spray the console, shifter, e-brake and boot, ash tray and shifter plate. Overall, I am pretty happy with the results, but it was a PITA to strip off all of the OEM vinyl coating that was on the console.

Thanks for all the tutorials CL, they came in handy!!!

Now it's time to do the dash, doors and back seat area

So you're going with a tan/black interior? Do the dash in black too
