Now I loved the look of the aluminum radio bezel like in the SRT10.

But unfortunately I could not see myself spending over $300 for a mere radio bezel just because it had aluminum on it. That money can go toward new tires. Ya know what I mean!?

Never the less being the creative person that I am, I thought outside of the box. I pulled out my stock radio bezel and ac buttons. I then taped off the whole area surrounding the radio, and proceeded to use Duplicolor caliper spray paint. Making sure that each coat was light and no drips would occur. Now I have used this paint on my race / show project car for the same thing, and it has yet to scratch, chip or flake off. If you do it correctly it will come out Mint with no chance of it coming off.

So here is the finish product, and the funny thing is noone knows its paint until I tell them.

"Think outside the box!"

Oh the A.C. Buttons were sprayed with light coats as well. - That paint is very forgiving!

 

I really like the simple mods this is why I love forums . Great job on the intake and paint job.

 

Here are a couple other things you can paint as well:

 

That I like, well done!

 

Look great! How did you do the instrument cluster? I would like mine to look like that!

 

That looks awesome man!! I'll maybe give that one a try, been wanting to get rid of the woodgrain on mine

 

I see your bought some stuff from MKGroup as well eh?

I kind of dig their stuff!

 

I know this is a dumb question but how did you get the radio bezel and ac buttons off? I am looking forward to doing this to my truck, but I need to know how to get them off. Did you paint the gauge surroundings too? Also, what is the exact name of the paint, and where can I get it?

 

You can buy an overlay for the instrument cluster here:
Fire and Ice Motorsports

Then paint it the color you want. Here are some instructions for installing:

The only thing from MRK is the Hemi thing on the right side of the dash, everything else was taken off and painted


You can pull the AC and radio buttons right off.


See above


I used the Dupli-Color brand of paints available everywhere. On the pieces that get a lot of use I used 6 coats of clear coat. Everything has been painted for over a year with no problems.




If you are thinking about painting some of your interior pieces I would suggest downloading the maintenance manual as it is a big help figuring out how to remove things.

 

Thanks for all the help! One last question, How did you get the middle piece(The piece surrounding the radio and ac buttons) off?
