I like, Ive actually decided to do the same with my balt, All my indoor panels are silver on black and Ive started to modify my indoor panels, I gutted out my door rests where the controls are and blacked it out, Taking the rest of the panels off from around my dash and doing the same is going to be an interesting project, but a good project none the less...

you're hilarious man, although I gotta give you mad props for the visions. There isnt a thing you've painted so far I havent REALLY liked. You do awesome work. Whats the DIY gonna be? "pull off radio bezel, spray it, let it dry, put it back on". haha there are some things I dont think are worthy of DIY writeups...

That came out really nice, Silver.

I have a 06, which obviously has a different radio bezel than the 02-05. But I have a woodgrain bezel, which I don't really like and was wondering if you can sand the woodgrain (which I know is just plastic), and paint over it? If possible, I would like to paint it black and silver, like the SRT NightRunner bezel.

This is the bezel I have (not from my truck, but I don't have a good picture of mine):
