Has anyone had success using chrome tape on the curved portion of the console?
I'd rather not get it rechromed

Can use chrome paint won't be as shiny but it has some, use it in my turn signal housings or just primer and paint it aluminum.
The pits in the pot metal will show through the tape I bet.

I’m hoping that filing down the edges of the pits will make them less noticeable.
Plan B is to use a skim coat of epoxy to fill them
Not exactly the same, but I used chrome vinyl wrap on my cluster, and it started to peel up within a couple months in the sun and warm temps.
I have a friend that painted his console to match his car color, light blue on the sides and white on the top.
Wish I had a picture to show you but it looks great.

My son’s console was pitted in the corners on the flats. To save money we sanded them down some and taped about a 3/8” wide band and painted it satin black. Think it looks really good especially with the new wood grain decal. Was a cheap way to spruce it up.
Nice work! Blends in nice with black console.
Sometimes we try to recreate the factory stuff with either so-so or costly results. While a different approach works/looks just as good. Yours is a great example!
