What about wrapping it in leather? Or the stuff they use on the higher end cars like BMW and Lexus

well thats one of the easiest things to do.. mold the fiberglass then wrap it in cloth. Just make sure the cloth comes out wrinkle free

expensive thats all...if you go to an apulstry shop they can give you differenet examples of material to use. some will be easier to work with and some will be very hard to work with.
when using vynil to give your interior some life, its hard to not get wrinkles in your material because vynil is so thing and strechy(if you have good stuff). twead - thats a popular interior finish...pretty easy to work with too.
any fabric as long as its its not to thick would be easy to wrap around corners and smooth out in flat parts.

keep in mind too, what will be permanit and removable...if start to hate your color and you cant remove it because you glue it down then its new parts time.

What kind of paint do they use to paint the center console? I would think it is flat black. Where could you get that from?
