Need help taking off radio bezel.

Meat_Wagon · 08-31-2007, 08:55 AM

I'm wanting to do some painting this weekend. I've got the gauge ring, ignition ring, and various knobs off. I'm have trouble getting off the radio bezel, not really sure on how to get it off. I've looked through some of the forums trying to find something but i've had no luck finding anything. I'm going to go pick up the paint in about 2 hours so i can get started before it gets too hot out.

Hemi Lover did a post about this... this link should help you get the bezel off...if you need some more help... you can email or PM either him or myself... its not hard to get off and he explains pretty good

I remembered cause I just did it not too long ago... I actually changed it to put in a DVD entertainment unit... it was one of the easiest installs I ever did

Alright after about an hour of frustration and butt clenching, I finally got it all off. Now i just have to liquid mask everything and begin to paint(more clenching).

Start a new thread and throw some pics up! I'd like to see what you got!

Here are some of the interior parts. I just got done liquid masking the ashtray cover and the ring around the ignition(filled in the letters so they will stay black). also took off the bezel but its on my passenger seat. I will also be painting the fuse box cover, washer fluid cover, and maybe the radiator cover(plan to mask out "MAGNUM" on each side). Should be a long day.

Well I tested my painting skills on the washer fluid cap and I think i did a good job. I masked the letters so tommorrow morning when the paint is dry I will peel it off and clear coat the whole thing. I'm also painting all the interior parts in the morning so when I'm done I'll post some pic.
