I removed my handles and sprayed them with interior dashboard paint, Mid grey. Were oyster. VHT brand.
Looks good to me.

my god, is there anyone out there that does not have this problem. you would think that for an almost $40,000 car, they could just have the console plastic dyed the specific color, not just cheap out and paint it. our 2000 SLK did the same thing. if the warranty is up, it's your dime from what everyone else seems to say.

Your replacement parts look GREAT!!!

Where did you get them?

Appx how much did the parts cost?

Were the items difficult to replace?

Thanks

Mine was peeling when I bought it. I ended up pulling the entire interior from the car. I rubbed it down with denatured alchohol, sanded the peeled areas and then painted the whole thing. I used flat black for the colored areas and semi-gloss for the areas normally black. I think it turned out allright, but I'm on the lookout for a wrecked Crossfire. I'd like to replace the whole thing.

Just posted my solution to this problem to "Enricoroberto" from 8/19/06.

Check out my solution.

Incidentally investigated everything including upholstery to the console. Found just repairing it like I did in this post works well and the fixes take me just a few minutes now. I have a hard time telling where I have fixed the scratches prior.
