WTB: 1990 Radio Bezel

To make a smooth finish on the out side of the fill just get a stiff piece of cellulose like those clear file folders or a small piece of wax paper will work.
You want to use it as a dam to press the epoxy against. A bit of baby oil will work as a polishing lube to insure a glass smooth surface. The crinkle paint for our interiors that MAD or CC or ZIP sells is a great match...just shake the chit outta the can before shooting. I used it to re-shoot my bezel and it's a very, very close match.....not 100% but 95+%.

Or...I just had a bfo. Go get one of those :gel-coat repair kits. It comes with the acetate film for the smoothing operation and a polyester or epoxy mending filler compound.

to mask off the lettering I used scotch tape.

I totally agree with Tom. I redid mine and it looks brand new and I searched and searched to find a match: Duplicolor Truck, Van and SUV, T299 Dark Shadow Gray; I could not get the aerosols shipped to me and I believe one of the Corvette suppliers has the console color match. I found the duplicolor at Checker's. If a new one shows up it will probably sell for $500 or more. Good luck and I hope this helps.
