i've seen a few posts about people that have painted their interiors. piano black and a copper color are good colors. however i havent seen anyone paint their trim silver. you're not going to get the "brushed aluminum" look from any spray can. that takes some painting skills to achieve that look. you'll have to paint the trim then brush the surface with a fine wide paint brush. painting it with a silver rattle can is gonna look flat silver...
another thing to consider is how long will the paint last? it would scratch easily and you'll have to be repainting it often... unless you clear coat then it will be very shinny
i actually llike the wood and the interior color you have. they play well together as you can see some of your seat color in the wood itself. i wouldnt paint it, but thats just me...
goodluck and post some pics of your results

nicke60gre has done his in alu color - you could ask him for the color code.
If your handy, this is not a difficult project.

I have seen Andy's trim live, ......... go for it.
Especially doing the center console gives it a great touch!
And you can pick the colour you like.
