Quick Question
While I have my drivers side dash out I thought I would address my issue with my speedo, and tach bezel. I was wondering what finish it came with. It looks like a flat black. I am not sure if it is because it is old or if it was that way new. And also what prep would it need, just scuff it up, and paint, or if it needs primer first. Thanks as always, everyone on here are very helpful.

Hi C,
The bezels were a semi-flat black originally.
If you feel the need to sand the surface first use very fine grit paper, (1000 maybe), so you don't introduce any visible scratches into the bezel's surface that might show in the new paint.
Regards,
Alan

As always Alan 71 you are johnny on the spot. Thanks so much. When I was talking about scuffing I thought it might need it for paint to stick. I will just clean it real good and spray them and use some acetone on a cloth and go lightly on the chrome edge to remove the paint. Thanks again Alan.

7T1vette I thought the same thing I did it the next day just to see. It was one I am not using. I will use the promoter first then paint. Thanks for all the help.
