The silver console is just paint as well so I don't think you'll have a problem with heat making new paint peel if you prep the surface correctly.

I painted mine with a satin black at first, but it got scratched up a bit from one of those cell phone holders you stick in the vents. I recently repainted it with some of that truck bed liner paint that is very sturdy and adds an awesome texture as well. I had also painted the knobs with the satin black but didn't paint them with the truck bed liner. It looks great!

P.S. If anyone chooses to use the same paint - the trick is to hold the can at least a 1.5 feet away when spraying as the paint goes on thick!
