[QUOTE="Plastic Fury, post: 442190, member: 21352"] lol I wouldn't mind at all, if you were closer. I grabbed the original bezel that came with my Sahara, it was damaged so I used the one from my old Jeep which was black. Just wanted to show you how I taped it out. You could use a burnishing tool but I just use my fingernail and there is a nice groove around the gauge windows. Then I use a hobby x-acto to trim them out and they come out nice and clean. [ATTACH type="full"]122985[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]122986[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]122987[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]122988[/ATTACH] Since they were black originally, I just left the bezel area black and painted the rest spice. I would have kept this original piece as the one I used had the radio area trimmed already but this one is damaged in a few spots. Not sure what the PO did lol but something hit it and a couple of the gauges were busted as well when I got it. A good couple of light mist coats gets the edges nice and sealed and then a couple of heavier coats to get it done. Then I removed the tape and matte cleared the whole piece. [/QUOTE]
