Re: Gauge bezel & glove box done
Looks real good. Two questions...
What type of paint did you use? Where did you get the idea for the gear indicator in the center bezel? I like that.

Re: Gauge bezel & glove box done
Thanks I used dupli-color textured black metallic and dupli-color silver metallic. I was going to put a tack in the center hole but I used a tilt out of a mid 90's truck. When I was taking it out I saw the indicator and how it was mounted and worked and liked the looks of it and since I am putting a 700r in the truck it solved my indicator issues and it was something I had never seen done before.

Re: Gauge bezel & glove box done
Well, it looks sharp, and certainly is unique.
IMO, I would spray a low gloss clear just to give some addt'l protection to your hard work. But I don't think you'd like a high gloss. Too shiney.

Re: Gauge bezel & glove box done
Thanks for all the compliments here is a picture of the bezel before i painted it and you can see what color the interior is. I hope to have the interior all together in the next couple weeks
