Interior work

That looks great. Do you have to pull the entire console apart or can you just pop the silver pieces off? Any specific brand of vinyl? I've been looking for a solution to this for a while.

Part of the reason I went with vinyl was because I didn’t have to pull the rest of the console apart. The side gray/silver pieces are attached to the bigger unit.

I’ve worked with a few brands. If you can get something 3M it’s usually best. I bought this stuff at hobby lobby and had to use hairdryer to get some bubbles out.

Looks really nice and matches well. Do you know the brand and brand color or number?

I just wrapped my center console and radio dash today. Matte black. Came out pretty good for a first timer. I was thinking of painting the side trim didn't want to remove the entire console. Wrapping seems like the way to go now. Question, did you start from the rear and work your way forward?

Just did a touch up on the steering wheel and passenger air bag cover. Used Valspar color called Mink Stole CI59. Matched really well. Just Valspar interior satin latex paint. Cost ~$3.50

Started from front and worked my way down and back...in that order.

So I just recovered my steering wheel using a leather wrap you sew on. $15 on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HJGR24E/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
After that I sanded the worn spots on the steering wheel spokes and areas around the controls and repainted. Here are some before and after pics. I tried to get shots that were close to the original so you can see the difference. Had a few really bad spots, especially around the Cruise Control buttons. That spot I may work on a little more. Had to do the pics in 2 post. Apprently there is a 5 pic limit now.
