Cool Here ya go Silver.....painted radio bezel/window & lock controls

Well last week I followed Silver's DIY and painted my interior. For some reason the sun's glare made the window controls look ALOT lighter than they really are, they are actually the same color as the radio bezel. But anyways, here ya go.

Daytona, it was pretty darn easy to do. The sanding was really the hardest part, since the original bezel had all those little squares in em, but other than that it was easy.

Senseless, the smoothness is from VERY thorough sanding. I probably spent 2-3 hours in just sanding it down to be as smooth as i wanted it to be. Here's the link to Silver's DIY: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...dio-bezel.html

Aiden, thanks for the compliment. When i first bought my truck, i thought i would want to go with a white/red theme, but almost everyone where i live likes to go with red. So i decided to be different and went with blue. The pics make the blue seem like a light, baby blue, which is not how they actually look at all. The bezels match my blue flame gauges exactly so i'm happy with how well it turned out. Maybe later tonight i will post some pics from nighttime so that the sun doesn't turn them so dang light blue.

I'd say just go with whatever you think will look best with the rest of your truck. If you had a theme in mind then go with that, if not, then just go with the flow. Besides, if you don't like it, you can always sand it down and paint it again.
