If "console" = dashboard.......get a nice one off ebay if yours is jacked. Otherwise if "console" = the smooth black plastic that frames your radio area.....it's a pain. If you are going to re-color it, DONT use vynil/carpet spray dye....it flakes off over time. The first thing to do is use some spray grease/oil cleaner to get all the Armor All off the surface...otherwise the paint wont stick as well. Then, you can either buy some plastic primer, or skip this step. I saw a commercial on tv for some paint that is meant specifically for plastic. Your probably not going to find this at Walmart or Target, so goto Lowes or Home Depot. Anyways, I would use some 400 or 600 grit sand paper to allow the paint to stick. Give it a couple layers, and if the beads up....wetsand it between coats. Whatever you do, DONT use Testors model car paint...it leaves brush marks.
