So im getting ready to repaint my radio bezel... My Trucks black and the interior theme is grey/black. I wanna paint the bezel something different besides the boring *** black but im not sure.. any suggestions??

TLDR: What color should I paint my radio bezel?

 

Gray? I got pics if you wanna see.

 

Here are some suggestions. I had red in mine but I also had a red truck.

There are a lot more but that should give you an idea.

 

How about a metallic black?

 

are there any pics of beards truck still floating around? They were shitting bricks over it...

 

aslo I have like a polished aluminum paint.. think that would look any good?

 

Yeah lemmy see em!

 

Wirelessly posted

I have pics of his on my computer, but I'm not on it right now. I'll look tomorrow and see if I have any that show the bezel.

 

I also wanna see the rest of his interior if ya don't mind

 

Instead of painiting it, have you considered a carbon fibre vinyl wrap?? IIRC that looks sharp

 

How about water transfer printing? Then he could get creative.

 

Here you go.



Edit: oops wrong picture.

 

Nice interior though.

 

I got it all sanded up and ready to go!

 

That...actually sounds very appealing to me. Anyone remember where that guy got the wrap? Like 3M or something?

 

There is that or that company down south that uses that chemical dip.

Someone on here did theirs in mystichrome from durasheild.

If you haven’t done this already.

The wrap sounds interesting and would look good but wraps can become BORING after a while.

With a blk truck and the dk gray/blk interior, OEM color could be the FX4 Silver.
The FX4, LvL II, used the silver color on the Cntr Bezel and around the Speed-o area, maybe elsewhere but I do not know for sure.
Get a serial number for one of the guys with an FX4 Level II and get “SEMS" Paint to match.

Also if painting use an Adhesion Promoter before painting OR read what SEMS Paint tells you to do.


p.s.
Oh ya… I do have the Dash Part that goes around the instrument Panel area in Dk Gray/Silver, like an FX4 LvL II, maybe, ’03 to be sure.
Thk’g $50 + shipping.

 

I second the carbon fiber wrap... it looks pretty sweet if done right! 3M does make it.

 

The Carbon Fiber would look good.
Is it easy to do or where to do it ?

 

 

Ok I wanna do the carbon fiber wrap but how hard is it?

 

Not difficult, just time consuming to do it right.

 

Just looking at another thread...

Hope this helps.

 

a 24"x24" sheet would be big enough right??

 

Seriously--if you're thinking about carbon fiber, do yourself a favor and just have it hydroimaged (dipped). I wasted a crap-load of money on 3M DiNoc--I should have had it dipped in the first place.

You won't be disappointed.
