haha yea thats the formula ive always used to paint the other stuff and it has worked great so i didnt want to change it. yea the bezel is smooth but it still has those bumps. i dont mind them i think it looks cool. sanding them completely down would have taken forever.

yea you did a great job by hand(more then I would have done). so im going to try it with a palm sander and some 400. were you thinking about not clearing it after you painted it? or did the clear really make it look alot better? I got some spray paint of a similar color of my truck and used it for some touch ups on the bed and looks like its a single stage a clear and paint mix. its from autozone duplicolor.

nope i was always gonna use the clear. the paint looks dull without it then its a silver metallic. the clear gives it the metallic, sparkle look lol
