Written By: STL
Discussion Thread: How To: Paint radio bezel
Tools Needed- 7mm socket
- flat blade screw driver
- masking tape
- your choice of paint color
- sand paper
7MM bolt holding bezel on remove those
Use your fingers to pry it off the dash or use a flat blade screw drive and pry it off
Remove the connectors for the 12v
Remove connector for the cig lighter
remove the foglight connection
Unplug radio antenna also remove the radio harness
Now I dont have a stock radio but it removes the same way
pull up on one side to release this tab and gently push radio toward front then repeat on other side and radio will come out the front of the bezel
Remove foglight switch 2 Phillips head screws
Now starting at the bottom of the vent release the tabs holding the vent on once they are released to do the top ones
Now u have this
Remove 12v plug
Stuff tape down in there covering the metal parts of it
Cig lighter cap wont come off so tape around it
Then your ready to paint scuff up the bezel with a light sand paper there is a rubber type stuff on there it will come off easily
If you don't want to remove the rubber just clean real good with soap and water let dry and spray away
