Make sure to tape up your hand brake handle. It can get beat up while installing the console. (From experience)

Well I took alcohol to it then acetone and then have put three or four layers of color enlight spray over the top of it. Usually the issue I have is with the clear and it getting laid down. So that's where I'm a little scared as to do I sand it in what happens at that point.

All right ladies and germs it's ready to go back in I think I actually did it right this time. The sanding was scary but it actually worked
