The usual tatty looking console due to the really bad choice of coating by porsche ! Who has refurb'd theirs? What with? How? I've thought about repainting just satin black; Hydro dipping in a variety of finishes; Vinyl wrap. Any thoughts? Cheers.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

If you paint, make sure you do proper prep and proper clear coating. That center console sees a lot of contact. Hydro dipping is a solid choice, but I've had issues where semi-flexible hydrodipped products start to flake the coating off after a few summers. Vinyl is also a solid choice if you do proper prep and have experience with applying vinyl over weird angles and curves. I went the vinyl route to match the exterior paint and couldn't be happier.
Great job, do you have a link to more photo's of your car?
No I have wrapped a few smaller things but I'm not going to wrap this!
I had mine painted GT Silver to match the interior trim. I bought a used console off of eBay and had it painted. My original console had cracks and broken pieces.
The BumperPlugs people do console painting. I have not had it done but they are reported to do a good job with it.
I has Bumper Plugs paint the center console in my Meteor Grey 2010 Boxster Base body colored a few years back. It still looks fantastic and has held up extremely well. Mike
