I 'm not sure if your having bezel problems still or not, but I came across this thread and thought I would let you know. If you intend to paint it I would use something for plastic,vinyl,fabric. It will stick better.

They do sell replacement allum. incerts for @60. Not too bad when a new bezel is @200,but still too much for me. I bought this at a art supply shop for about $5 a sheet. Print shops should have it also. I am not sure what it's called,but it peels off like a sticker. If you decide to do something like this I can give some ideas that may prevent you from getting a second sheet like I had to do.

It looks pretty good to me, or at least it looks better than it did, and will work until I can buy a new one. This belzel is a non ac and has been cut and need to go. Same thing on console. Plate was rusted and pitted. Painted with plastic paint. Hope this helps!!

Maybe you can trim straighter than me, but then again pic is blown up
