The wood grain on the two pieces you posted the pics of come separate from the pewter painted plastic. If you look at the back side you can see where they melted tabs to hold the pieces together. If you cut them down you can pull them apart so you can sand/paint and get a nice clean edge. The only one that doesn't come apart is the dash wood grain. Be careful with that piece too. The wood grain on the lower parts of the console is pretty tough and mild solvents won't hurt it. The dash wood grain has a clear film that almost any solvent will pull up

I realized that after, full dissasembled everything this time since there were a couple spots that weren’t perfect anyways. Brought the pewter pieces up to work so i could sand blast them and if the weather gets warm enough over the weekend I’ll respray again. Hopefully picking up my rear seats this weekend also

Nice, so much exterior mods, love to see an interior project once in a while.

I’m happy with how it looks on the exterior, only thing I’m currently still wanting to do is lower it a little more and do the rear wiper arm delete (weld and paint) and figure out something to plug the front license plate holes but that’ll be later. Coilover kit will happen sometime early next year so that’ll fix the lowering issue. Gotta finish the interior first though. I did just get these pics the other day...
As far as the current project goes though, the only thing I’ve gotten done was finishing these and plastic-welding them back together. They aren’t perfect but I’m happy with them, they are much better now than they were before. I’ll be swapping out my current console with the Denali console soon. Planned on replacing the carpet also while I’m at it since the seats need to come out but I just haven’t had the time.
Also still waiting to get the rear seats and I can’t start mocking up the double console until I have those. Hopefully I’ll come across something soon!

I got started on getting the Denali console in for now. Wanted to see how everything worked and needed to take some measurements with the console out anyways. 
Incase anyone was curious in the difference of the Bose Denali amp verse the Bose standard amp here they are. My original on left and Denali on right.
Anyways I got the console in, the parts I painted being broken from shipping didn’t hold together where i had fixed them sadly, so I’m just going to start off with pieces in better condition and go from there (you can see where the bin on the lower dash part of the console lost the door and the cup holders fell back in). Need to pick up another set for the rear when that time comes anyways so tomorrow will be a day at a few junkyards. Maybe I’ll get lucky and find some seats finally too!
Also need to find a way to fix the Denali dash crack above the Gauge cluster but these console pieces were pretty bad after arriving from shipping.
Console looks amazing, much better than the original console. Only issue I’m currently having is my radio won’t play anymore. I took it apart several times trying factory amp and console wiring or Denali amp and factory wiring and nothing. Checked underhood “amp fuse” and it was fine too. Radio is an aftermarket Pioneer app radio 4, and even though I plan to delete the factory stereo entirely, it would be nice for it to work for now still if anyone has any ideas.

Do you know anywhere that can re-simulate the wood grain? Hydro-dip would probably be the best/easiest

There is a guy here in Houston that can do the Denali blackwood in hydro dip, he quote me $350 last month. His email is [email protected]
