I used black vinyl die on mine rather than paint, on the console itself. For the trim pieces, I worked them down with steelwool, taped them off, used a thin coat of self etching primer (eastwood), a thin spray of underhood black over that, and a thin spray of "Interior Black" from Mustangs Etc. over that. If you put on anything thick, like a standard sandable primer, you'll lose your camera case texture.
Oh yeah...here's how it turned out.
