Hello all, looking to paint or somehow restore my center console in my C5Z. It's not that bad but after 14 years it has a little wear and tear, not noticeable to most but is to me. Is their a factory paint I can use to paint it to match it 100%? Or a way to dye it/restore it somehow? Just don't want to shell out $400+ on a new one. I don't want to plasti dip it because it won't look right to me. Want it to look as close as factory and have factory color and sheen. Thanks all for the help. Here is the pic of the center console part I want to paint/restore.
Mine was looking worn too so I had my bodyman who painted my car Mellenium Yellow paint the interior pieces too. Came out great I think. Here's a pic of it.
I can't find the pictures right now but a while back I posted pictures of my double din console that I covered in black leather myself. It was a pita to do but it came out pretty good and looks great. An idea you might consider.

Someone here on the forum posted this info up a while back:
C5 center console paint match: Dupli-Color Vinyl & Fabric spray available at NAPA. It is Flat Black. Don't worry it is not that dull of a black and matches the sheen of the OEM dash.
I've not tried this so proceed at your own risk. As mentioned above, might want to give Dennis at Double D Mods a call and see what he uses.

I have used this product and it comes out beautifully, be brave little Grasshoppers after all its only a Chevy (so I am told)

There was some kind of SEM trim paint I used years ago when I did my double din mod. It even sprayed with the stock texture too
Get some nice rubber gloves...wipe the console bezel down with rubbing alcohol... then put a coat of "sand free" SEM 38363 this is a WET ON WET adhesive promoter so while its still WET spray the Landau Black SEM Color Coat 15013 it will look brand new.... Might make sure at the paint store that the Landau Black would be a perfect match for the C5 interior... I used in on my 85 Square Body SWB 4x4 resto... the interior is black... I did the doors, dash, and interior trim with it ... looks awesome... you can also use the Black Color Coat for CARPET and VINYL...

That's EXACTLY what I've used!!! I've used it in all my cars, it gives whatever you're painting that OEM look, plus it really holds up over time! My friend worked at our local Cadillac dealership, that's what they used to touch up interiors and what he recommended. I figured hey If it was good enough for them, it's good enough for me too
Restore/paint center console?
