Default 69 Gauge bezel picture?

Does anyone have a good picture of an NOS or very good original center gauge bezel. I have completely stripped mine and want to make sure I trim the chrome edges out right when I repaint it.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,
I found it's pretty difficult to get pictures of the black trim parts in the car. Here's some that MAY give you some help.
Perhaps someone has some of the parts on the work bench which would make it easier to see.
Regards,
Alan

Thanks Alan,

I thought it was mainly the outline of the frame, but mine had been painted before, so I wasn't sure if it had been done right then. The two main areas I wasn't sure about were the raised area around the radio face, which looks black in your pictures and the width of the chrome strip at the very top above the wiper switch.

Thanks again,
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,
The raised edge around the radio face plate and ***** remains black.
The upper most chrome edge is is the widest on the cluster bezel and the chrome is exposed till it just starts to turn under toward the wiper switch bezel. I can understand why you questioned that one... it's not REAL obvious were the black should begin. My picture doesn't show it but the chrome reveal is about 1/8" to 3/16" wide at that point.
Regards,
Alan
