Side marker question, paint/sand...

Than that wouldn't help me any since it's the bezel that needs to be repaired or replaced... My local salvage yard that has 3 mavericks some with decent bezels (better than the one that has the minor damage) but they want $25 per corner for them... that's ridicules in my opinion.

I'll probably either use bondo or PC-7 epoxy to fill in the missing bit and sand to shape or sand all the outward facing rings to smooth them out giving them the same basic radius as the hood trim and headlight bezel...

As far as what I'm going to paint them... still on the fence, going to wait till I get to that point in my paint project (rattle canning the whole car)... I'll probably make them try to match the headlight bezels (what ever I do with them). Thanks for all the suggestions.

 

finally did something with them, repaired the damaged one and painted them Rustolium Satin Metallic Aluminum




This is the one that was damaged on the left front edge.

 

I like that.

 

I just masked off the lens and painted mine body color when I painted my car. Made it look different, most didn't even notice them. Yours look like they turned out good.

 

Kinda related but not directly. I was looking over the headlight bezels and the hood trim, they both have the typical pock marks, scuffs, etc. Tried to clean the up with steels wool but some of the marks were more than surface blemishes, so I was thinking about painting them the same as the side markers. what to do....

 

Those look great!

 

Thanks, can't wait till I can install them and see how they look against satin black.
