New Dash Bezel
Went to the Portland swap meet a couple of weeks ago and picked up a new bezel for my dash. Got it for $25US but only comes in black or chrome. I bought the chrome and this weekend i painted it to match. It should really clean it up.

Re: New Dash Bezel
All done. Took some polish to the lens to buff out the fine scraches. Put new bulbs in(168) but I think i might look into LEDs to brighten it up

Re: New Dash Bezel
I was down there too and bought one of those bezels,couldn't pass up that price. I also bought a few other things from the Truck Stop Booth. That was a good swap meet, picked up a few good used parts, too. Too bad the weather wasn't so great though.All in all it was enjoyable.

Re: New Dash Bezel
Wow, that is nice! What color do you call that? How did you prep the bezel? I was going to paint mine black, but think that maybe now I'll go with the body color as nice as that looks. Thanks for sharing the pics. Jeff.

Re: New Dash Bezel
I think there are $30 in the catalog from Car and Truck shop. All i did was clean the rough chrome with brake clean and mask off all the chrome. That was the worst, getting that little chrome ring around all the gauges. Then it slightly lifted after I had painted it, so with a little thinner on a clean rag, go back and wipe off all the over spray. Cursing as i did it, but well worth the finished product.. Any one know what the best LED to use to make it "glow" a little better. E-bay is ok but they want a fortune for shipping.
