Re: How To: Paint Radio Bezel
nice, that "rubbery stuff" is soft feel paint, recommend you remove it entirely.. as new paint will harden and old will stay soft, end result in chipping easy..... use 400 grit to remove soft feel, and this is ok spray solid color over 400g scratches.. if using a metallic color, final sand with 800grit before applying metallic color.

You can get the 12V plug out. One the back it unscrews. You just have to work it.

Re: How To: Paint Radio Bezel
for the 12v ground do i just pry the connector and wires apart?? im confused ...:/

Re: How To: Paint Radio Bezel
No, youll see man when you take off the bezel you can just pull the plugs off the 12v. Everything unplugs dont need to pry anything. After I unscrewed the bezel I just grabed the bezel at the top and pulled it off so I didnt damage the bezel at all with the screw driver.

Re: How To: Paint Radio Bezel
i ended up taking apart the 12 v by unscrewing it and i dropped it...shit fell apart and now it dont work cuz i never saw how everything went back together
