Painting the center console

[Chased]

Has anyone had luck painting these? Specifically the foam portion? I painted the bottom part of mine and I’m considering doing the whole thing. I used the trim paint from Dixie Restoration on the bottom and most of my other pieces and it works great.

I generally use the SEM ColorCoat stuff. It is flexible so great on soft surfaces. But I use it on hard plastic too. Everything here blue is painted.

I also used SEM on both my Monte's and Regal's center consoles, my Regal I went from factory blue and after doing some repairs painted it black and then burgundy when I installed it in my Regal.

Do know the color code for the SEM paint? Is the
Flexible paint called something specifically?

It's just SEM color coat and pick the color you want and follow the proper prep for the best results.

This chart is more comprehensive. The online color charts don't do justice. Mine was a discontinued color. https://manage.semproducts.com/public/content/techsheets/TDS_color_coat.pdf I used the Sailcloth White on my boat seats a lot.

F-body consoles, yes. They do work nice in our cars!

What color did you use for that burgundy on your regal

I'm the odd ball on this as I used PPG's line to recolor a steering wheel, pair of door panels & some plastic trim in dark maple some years back. Any good paint shop should be able to mix a close match with your interior's color code in SEM or PPG. Even should be able to cross PPG/SEM codes too. Just make sure they understand it's for interior soft parts.
