Nope. My centre console is painted with automotive paint. I just used a plastic primer underneath.

That's pretty much about it. Although I was sick of sanding by the end and didn't put in the greatest effort

at the moment my centre console is gloss black.
i sanded the plastic, sprayed it with plastic primer, waited 10 minutes then sprayed the gloss black.
you could then sand the top coat & spray it with a clear coat if you wanted.
