Steering column and dash was out anyway so was a no brainer to do this. removed the bezel and very gently scraped the paint off with a blunt scraper. (comes off really easy). mine were quite pitted too so i did spend a bit of time with some 400 grade wet and dry to get them nice and flat. i then spent quite a bit of time masking of the chrome edges. i found the easiest way was to use green frog tape and then sharp scalpel around edges. take your time to get this bit right. i did my first one twice before i was happy with it. then primed the metal with an etch primer. U pol rattle can is great for this as i'm no expert sprayer. couple of coats then on with u pol satin black. i did my first coat too heavy and ended up with some small runs, out with the wet and dry again then 4 very light coats later i got where i was happy with them. they're not easy to paint but well with the effort. My lenses were in good condition but i decided to opt for new ones, wow what a difference they look like new now. CK keep them as a stock item, cost me about £50 but one of the best little spends ive made.Nice job!, how did you tidy up yr chrome bezels ? Mine are a bit chipped too
