These bezels were first chrome plated and then the recessed area around the headlight opening was painted. So the all chrome ones could be any 73-78 bezel that's had the factory paint removed.



Re-painting them is fairly easy. I think the factory just sprayed right over the chrome. But on ones that I've re-painted, I lightly sanded the chrome to help the paint stick better.

Removing the factory paint is fairly easy too. Chemical paint stripper or lacquer thinner will take it off without harming the chrome.

Thank you for all your information. Very helpful! As well as Chaplain!
