Plastic Coating on center console Peeling

Gents

Need some cheap advice. The center console in my 93 and 95 ATX are peeling. The mocha colored paint or covering is coming off and turning black. Any suggest on how to restore.

Thanx

I ordered some paint from LRS late model restoration ( a mustang supply company) the grey color is called opal for 93, I don't know if they have the mocha you speak of, but first clean the surface with acryliclean or some other degrease/de-oil cleaner, once that is done you need to take a very fine grit sandpaper, 1500 (maybe a little less like 1000) grind the loose mocha off,if not it will bubble and look like ***, but get that off, just work the edges of the peeling down so they are less noticeable, kinda blend it, go into the painted area a bit, don't do it so much it will take the texture off, but enough to blend the drop-off down. put some acryliclean over surface to prep the surface once again, just spray it and it will look new! I did mine, and she is dead sexy now!!!!

Eon, your best bet may be to find a console in a junkyard or from someone online.
