Well, I removed the entire console* <---lol then sanded it down, then primed it then wet sanded it then 2 more coats of primer. Let dry and then with like 1000grit sanded it again, then i put the final 3 coats of black. It holds up pretty good, i don't really come into contact with it that much but the paint appears to be there pretty strong. Went to the beach yesterday and I caught my little sister scraping at it in the back with a penny and nothing happened to it. So its pretty on there lol
