I had this issue on my 2018 Ford Expedition. I ended up using Vallejo acrylic black paint and brushed it on. I lightly sanded it before applying but honestly didn’t spent a ton of time. Painted right over some of the existing chrome because I didn’t want to be there all day.

Not perfect but looks better in my opinion. I also put Vallejo Matt varnish over it for added protection. Vallejo products are sold at craft stores like Hobby Lobby. Before/after photos attached.

Mine was peeling too z but I knew it would be good as long as I didn't touch it. Then I had the neighbor's 8 year old pump my brakes for 5 bucks while I bled them. After he left.... a huge chunk was sitting there torn off. Guess he couldn't resist peeling it.

Glad I found this thread. I've been wondering what to do about it. Maybe I can find shiny chrome stickers and just cut one to size and stick it down right over top of the missing part.

Wait till you put a drink in the cup holder and the bottom falls out. I just had to take it apart and put screws in it. The top of the console pops off easy. I might try the paint idea.
