Default Center Console Question

I just got my first corvette on Friday and sure enough, a mustang backed into it. My neighbor is going to cover all costs fortunately (great neighbors).

Here is my question. The center console by the shifter and around the CD player is starting to have paint wear off. The paint is super dark navy/faded black with black plastic underneath. I will have all the hard plastic pieces from the waterfall beneath the seats up to the CD player, and left over to the door white. I may leave pieces black like the cup holder lid, the traction control bezel, and obviously all of the buttons and shifter black.

I talked with the guy that is going to be doing my car's work and he said that he would repaint those pieces for me for a little extra since he would make a little more paint to cover the pieces.

My car is Arctic white. Top interior is black, bottom interior and carpet is dark red (I believe its firethorn?)

I will be painting the waterfall between the seats, console bezel around shifter up to the CD player, and over on the left side of the steering column where the trunk popper is.

Does anyone else have pictures of theirs that I could look at, or does anyone have any tips they can give when removing those pieces to sand?

Thanks guys.
