p76 niko Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Hi Guys well after finding out how much those outer bezel units cost i decided to take mine off and spray it a nice red to match our designer interior. As i manufacture surfboards and know how to spray paint the method was as follows: To remove theres small star shaped screws behind bezel which have to be removed then gently remove bezel by hand. lighty sand surface with 1200 sandpaper then spray with plastic primer(this makes the final paint bond) wait to dry then again lightly sand again with 1200 then apply color(twopac) Final coat is three coats of two pac clear to protect paint. Finished product looks totally factory! cheers, niko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scalpel Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 yep have pics here but how do i post them?? niko. For some obscure reason, the thread that details how to do this is pinned in the Home Theatre section (rather than the general forum section). It presumably is because that is where people most want to post pictures (of their toys). So look (here) for help. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanitarium Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 or you could upload them to something like Image Shack: http://www.imageshack.com/ and then pop a link in the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
