has anyone painted there bezel rings?

[embryoguy@mac.com]

is possible to take off the bezel rings and paint it? has anyone attempted this?

I haven't painted the bezel rings yet but am going to. All the info you need on painting them should be on my earlier post about painting the door pulls...except how to remove the bezel! lol. And THAT I can't tell you yet since I haven't done it. But, afaik, they can be removed and either painted or replaced.

Here's a link to the thread: http://986forum.com/forums/diy-project-guides/22376-diy-aluma-look-interior-pieces-post193438.html#post193438

If you're wanting some color other than the alumina look I can't help you with any of that info about paint colors/formulas etc . sorry.

Here is what I have done with mine

Hey Wingnut2u, you wanna describe your technique on that project? That looks great!

[Wingnut2u]

I bought a set of trim rings off eBay and had those painted. They are just an overlay that uses 3m tape to hold them in place. I liked that idea better than trying to dismantle the gauge bezels and it is totally reversible.

The center console is easily removable for painting.

The center dash strips were a PITA to remove. For those you will have to buy replacement pieces as you will damage the original pieces during removal.

I was having some bodywork done on the car so I had the body shop paint all of the pieces at the same time while they were painting my front bumper.

I must say that the pictures do not do it justice. I am very pleased with the outcome and it really gave the car a much more updated appearance

Yeah, cool, but the center windscreen "PORSCHE"...is that a decal or what? If it's a decal, where'd you get it?
