Dash Bezel silver trim how to
Ok, first off a thank you to Grinnergetter 
for sending me a Junk Yard found radio delete dash bezel. Well I recieved it today and she looked like this.
So I cleaned her real good with dish soap and a scrubbie. After drying I swaped out the head light and windshield wiper windows for a cleaner one I had sitting around. Next I did a bit of searching to see what matches the paint on the bezel. Turns out theres a guy on the 80 to 86 forum that was using a Krylon Silver Leaf Paint Pen to repaint the silver edge on the bezels so I decided to run to the arts and farts store "michaels" to see if they had one, They did.
So I get home scrub her down again with wax and tar paint prep and laid into it. Here is the result. I have a much cleaner radio dash bezel that still has the silver intact. I would be hard pressed to tell the difference. 
Painting it was super easy just start from the inset parts first, then the middle pieces, then do the outside so you dont run into it with your hands. Other than a steady hand it was super easy.

It's funny cause I did this very thing to my dash bezel when I was still in high school in 94. Had a 75 F150 and I bought a silver paint pen, and did this same thing, although I didn't use a prep solution, and at the time, I didn't know about the little nipple on top of the headlight switch to remove the ****, so had to do it while it was still in the truck. Wish this site had been around when I was in high school.
