1971 Console Painting
I'm looking to restore a center console, I need some advice on paint selection and prepping the console. The console is brown in color and I want to paint it black. Any advice would on the console would be much appreciated.

Here's the last one I restored. It was originally brown.

As Joe said, use the SEM prep and clean it well with a brush

Thanks for the info it saves a lot of unnessary experimental work. What should I do with the metal moulding that wraps around the console, it looks like the tabs slide through then are bent to hold it in place. Can tha metal be polished ?

I am restoring one converting it to a 4 speed. I removed that trim pice and sanded the plating off with 320. Then in worked finer 400,600,800,1500,2000 grit. Then rubbed it out with mothers and it looks perfect.
