Definitely don't sand, primer and paint.
Did mine the other day , scrape as much as you can off with whatever you wanna use, I used a CD lol (bored at work) then take remaining material off with wax and grease remover so it's bare down to the shiny gray layer . scuff it with a scuff pad and use vinyl paint, it's tehnically not spray paint. I got mine at NAPA its about $10 , company called SEM makes it, you may have to ask for it. Takes no more than a half hour per piece

Looks good redline. Might give this a try this month

Ehh.... whatever floats your boat I guess. But that takes forever and costs more , sanding that rubbery stuff is a pain in the *** and trying to get in the button crevices is even worse. Just my opinion of course.

Oh I forgot to mention to take the buttons out they're just clipped in , flat head pocket screwdriver or two does the trick . thanks drvqz good luck

The product looks like this, that's all you'll need .
This stuff is not like the stock soft touch material, it doesn't peel.

There's a 3M trim paint in flat black that comes out great, I did my drivers handle and it still looks perfect.

I found Color Bond LVP refinisher for leather vinyl and plastic to be a real good match for my 350Z interior. The color I chose is #244 Honda Black. When I looked at my Honda interior it looked like the same color to me. I've got 8 cans of paint here and tested all and held them against my lid cover (various Black and Graphite colors). After spraying the lid I can't see a difference at all in color even the sheen matches. You can find the paint on Amazon/eBay/Summit it's a little on the pricey side but hides in two coats and is a perfect match. I didn't even have to paint the whole lid I just sprayed some in a cup and brushed it on and I can't tell in bright sun that it's been touched.
