Console clean up

The console is fiberglass and quite rugged accept in a few areas. I've cut and filled on mine because I have a larger tunnel for a TKO so I had to shave the nose to get it back to the stock location and be parallel to the floor. Mine has some deep scratches and broken corners, probably from being stored poorly by previous owners. I'll epoxy the broken parts. Light abrasive blast might work to keep the texture and strip a layer of finish. I have a small blaster/compressor and some walnut shells, might give it a try.
I didn't know it was fiberglass, I thought it was like a pot metal or something light. That info was helpful. Thank you. Does anyone use a certain paint to repaint with?
