$70.39 to paint the center console on my '05 at local body shop. The photos may not show it, but the new black matches the radio black perfectly. Sorry for the reflection of the overhead light. See last two pics for the closest to the "real thing". I never liked that silver. The silver at the sides of the instruments were left alone...never bothered me. Many thanks to this forum for the detailled instructions.

Looks very factory (nice) what color and type of paint.
Unknown. They took it to the local auto-paint store and found "the perfect match" on the shelf in a spray can. Others here have said to use a satin-black. I did tell the shop manager to match the color and texture to the radio.
That is a stretchy nylon cover that a friend gave me. He picked it up at B'ton Gold years back and cannot remember the vendor. It fits very nicely and gets many good comments. It also feels great on my elbow.
