Thanks a LOT! I was wondering what in the heck to do about that.

If you're patient (it'll only take 15 minutes or so), just use rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol. It costs about a dollar, is available at any drugstore.

You don't need to remove anything. Just use alcohol and a rag and rub at it, it will remove all of the silver "paint" and uncover the "chrome" finish beneath.

Great job.

umm mine is flaking kinda like his center piece but when i took rubbing alchohol to it it turned black did i rub it too hard?

I think it depends on the year.

My 02 was black underneath, but I have seen some (00-01?) that were "chrome"

thorax

so i have no choice but to either get an older one or spray paint it?

Sabre

or buy a previous year center console.

Personally I like the black look just as well. It still has a very faint sparkle to it, and it is a gloss black. Accents the shift boot well.
