69 Camaro Headlight Bezel With Chrome Trim RH
« on: April 16, 2022, 01:44:45 PM »
Hello All
Weather is improving and looking to get the Z out for a spring ride. One of my last things on my list of winter projects on the car was to replace the Headlight Bezel With Chrome Trim RH. The car was originally painted Burgundy from the factory, but back in the mid 1970's it was painted Fathom Green at the same time they also replaced the grille with a black one, which in my option looks better with the green instead of the silver. Bezel is broken around the inboard side around the mounting screw.
I will be looking for a replacement if I can find a reasonable priced OEM bezel that will work, but not opposed to an after marked repop. Where I need the help is I will need to paint it black as most all are silver. So is the black paint (flat or semi-gloss) I don't think its glossy? So what paint tint and manufacture do you guys recommend?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Bob,

I may have a used set of OE's that are black. I know I've got NOS and used Argent bezels for my L78 (early car), might have a set you can look at. I'll check later today.

Regards, 
Steve

I'm resurrecting this thread as I'm still looking for the RH Black Headlight Bezel with Chrome.
I have searched the forums and found this 2014 thread on Bezels as then there was a belief that there are Silver ones and Black ones.

 http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=12742.0

I'm attaching my broken one and I have scratched off the black and the plastic underneath is off white, it my be painted but if so it is and excellent job, no over spray and it is evenly coated even in the inner valleys.
If a OEM replacement is not found does anyone know what paint I wound use if I had to purchase a after market and paint it black.
Appreciate any help

Guys, sorry for bring this forward again, but no one has a original black grill and bezels on there 1969 Camaro's? As far as I can find all the after market Bezels are silver not black. So if that is the case and I can not find an original OEM one in good shape in either black or silver I will need to paint it. So what paint do I use?
Thanks Much!
