what is a good filler to use for interior console modifications?

Bumper repair is an option, What ever you use won't match the texture you got on the rest. I think the way you got it, the drink you put in it still will be airborne. Put a shifter in there and skip the drinks.

'interior plastic paint' will fix that, it usually textures as it dries.. at least some do

Well I'm thinking at this point, I'm just going to run a tight bead of paintable caulk. I don't have a large gap to fill, and the more I look at it, and the more I hear about my options, I'm thinking its the best way to go. It's all going to get painted again, so I think I will just caulk the gap,and sand and smooth down my curves a little bit to fade them in better. the router didn't really didn't quite do the job I required of it.

I must say I don't understand what your saying about a shifter, since there's one there already:poke: besides I can't put one where my ashtray goes...:p

it's a shame you had to ditch the ashtray lid.. it would have been pretty cool if you could have left it, so you could close it and no one would ever know.. lol

If you are going to use caulk, use polyurethane caulk.  It's the only thing that will stay in place with that gap, but I have to warn you, any caulk you use will separate at that joint after a while.

I wanted to but the only thing that would have fit there would have been a Budweiser so that wasn't going to work lol

3M makes this stuff called problem plastic they use for bumper repair. Ive used it a few times and really like the stuff. It sands really nice and is easy to paint over. Only bad thing I can think of with the stuff is the smell. Talk about the worst case of puppy breath you can imagine.

To answer the question it spreads on like regular ol body filler.

ANNNNNNNNNNND if ya wait to long to do it it starts spreading like peanut butter.... but is still useable. drys in 10-20 min. sandable in about 25. and you need a friggin cheese grater to knock the excess off. but it sands decent ly when it needs to 80-120-220-400-primer-600-800-paint-600-800-1000-clear-800-1000-re clear- wet 1000-wet 1500-wet 3000 and buff but I doubt youre gonna go through all that just for a measly interior peice lol
