I have the same problem where my right knee rubs on the edge of the console.

Does anyone know what paint is used?

Same problem here!!! i had a interior guy look at mine and he does alot of dying of interiors and says he could do it but it would more than likely look worse than before very very soon. mine has black interior. it appears as though the clear film has worn off. almost like clear coat went bad or something.. according to him the only fix is a new console cover/bezel if you want it done right

I remember seeing GB Vette's post during his Geek My Ride build. He cut his console for new guages and repainted it to make it look stock. Take a look at the bottles in the pictures.

SEM Texture Coating and SEM Satin Gloss looks like a perfect fit.
