The dash bezel (like alot of them) had lost just about all it's chrome edging over the years. I really did not want to buy a reproduction because I didn't want to lose the original woodgrain and swirled aluminum inserts.....which are in perfect condition.
So I had my sister mask off all the edges. (my sister is a master at taping and she does the masking on all my cars for me) She masked off everything on the bezel and we painted the edges with chrome paint. The results turned out very good and I'm just very happy to be able to re-use the original bezel.
