69-70 bezel paint
What finish looks the best, satin, semi-gloss? Searched but couldn't find a recommended brand or finish...but there is some nice work out there! Oh ya just gonna use spray can application after priming.

Re: 69-70 bezel paint
i haven't looked since '07, but I used to buy them all the time for 30-ish bucks. I had tried painting them in the past and was never too impressed, always looked like poop IMO. $30 is something even a broke tightwad like myself can scrimp together.

Re: 69-70 bezel paint
I bought a repop from Brothers and used a silver out of a spray can to paint the rings.They had them on sale about 6 months ago,only cost me $14.00 shipped to my door.

Re: 69-70 "headlight" bezel paint
Sorry, wasn't thinkin'! I just adjusted the post title...I was talkin' about the bezel around the headlight. Heres some pics....gotta make the grill match later.
I used NAPA's TECnique trim black paint...satin or low gloss paint. Does it look close? |

Re: 69-70 bezel paint
I just painted mine last week with semi gloss black along with my inner grill. I spent like 30minutes prepping them for paint and they seem to hold up pretty well.

Re: 69-70 bezel paint
The one original set I have in excellent condition is a very low gloss almost flat black.

Re: 69-70 bezel paint
What you have is close but it is a sheen less shiny. However, if you did tape off and paint the inner grille black parts and the lines/chevy in the grille it would all look correct matching.

Re: 69-70 bezel paint
Thanks for the lead! He used Krylon satin. I went back a little farther and spotted what looked like a wide angle mirror on his driver door. I want to do that also....mirror shakes and viewing ability, you know. Thanks again!
