We've taken off the console, the what was chromed surround wouldn't separate without breaking the tangs as the are heat moulded in. We have taped around the chromed parts and used Duck tape to removed the lose bits and wire wool to clean off the stubborn bits. Its now super clean and off white. The wire wool and some wet and dry paper has given a lovely key ready to be sprayed. Should that fail, it's off to Monster Wraps to have the whole thing carbon wrapped..
