Precat is tough as nails and water base stain will not fade in the sun.

I used precat (ML Campbell Magnalac) on my entire wooden console and it's held up great through one hot summer. I guess winter will be a big test. It was not that hard to apply and easy to work with in terms of color sanding.
Chad ... cupholder looks great. I'm starting a cupholder project of my own currently. I think mine will be a one-cupper with zebra veneer on the top and MB Tex (at $36 a yard!  ) around the sides. Shape depends on what me and my $15 power dremel can manage. I bought my zebra for the boost guage panel in the pic above from eBay, but this time around was actually was able to order a nice little pack from a local Woodcraft for $10.
