Has anyone painted their gauge bezel? If so, please post pics.

 

i was thinking about this also...bump for a good idea

 

There are pics in the how to's... IMO they look good painted the same color as the dash.

 

check my cardomain

 

What is your cardomain link??

 

Whoops I thought it was set as my homepage. I guess not! Here ya go, http://www.cardomain.com/ride/837045

 

dont do it.

 

why not?...if correctly done..it will look great...Dr.Max is Graphite MAN!~~~~~~~ Dennis you better sand that bish down.

 

+1 - Painted dash, when done right, looks better than just about any dash kit if you ask me. Has more of a professional OEM look to it. I love mine

 

That came out really good bhmax16, I painted my dash as well, graphite (on my cardomain), I ended up keeping the brushed alluminum gauge bezel though, I liked it better.

 

how did u get these vents out on the passenger and diver sides

 

I took my whole dash out, but apprently there's an easier way I was told after I took everything out.

 

Check my sig and tell me that doesent look good painted! sheit if done right yes it will be OEM style.

 

Ok............maybe you guys misunderstood the thread topic. It's about painting the piece inside the instrument cluster where the speedo, tachometer, and other gauges are located in. The bezel is the piece that is ontop of these gauges. That's basically what I wanted to paint. I'm not really into painting the entire dash area and center console. I just want a subtle change, not really big on in your face stuff.

 

This thread is about painted bezels , not painted dashes. I do like that stearing wheel though. Looks good.

 

Guess I'll have one project to do this weekend. All I need is to find me those guage rings but bronze instead of chrome...sounds like something I'll have a hard time finding.

 

We'll here it is, painted the bezel using Graphite High Temp Wheel Paint.

 

looks good man. is that the only piece u painted? and what color is it? i am almost finished my pieces. they r going to be white.

 

Yep, that's the only piece I had planned to paint. The color is graphite wheel paint. Not sure if I want to paint the center console.

 

mine should be done by tomorrow i will try to get some pics up for u to tell me how u guys like it

 

looks good.

 

hey guys i was just wondering what u would use to clean the dash pieces? armor all?

 

Heck no!!!!!! Armor all contains oil which doesn't go well with paint. You want the paint to adhere to the surface well. Just wash the pieces with soap and warm water, then dry it well. Then sand them down with a very fine sand paper.

 

no man i mean when the pieces r done and all ready in the car
