Hobby shop white enamel should work as well, followed by polising the upper 
surfaces.  Should be more durable, also.

Don't know much about the console surrounds on high-windshield cars, but I 
suspect it was originally chromed, then perhaps portions were bead-blasted 
to dull the surface.  That's what was done with the ash tray surrounds on 
low-windshield cars.
