Supplies needed:
320 grit sand paper
Colormatched (or whatever color you want) body paint from Mopar
Primer
Clear Coat
Scapel Blade (or for you cheap-o's, a standard razor blade)
Painter's tape (I like the blue stuff)
Your nail
First off... remove the bezel (obviously)
Tape off the areas you don't want to paint and then using your nail, press the tape down around the corners making everything as precise as possible.
Take your razor and cut out the areas that are covered and need to be painted
and then sand it with 320 grit to remove the clear coat. After you've sanded it, take some cleaner (whatever you want really), and remove the loose grit on the bezel. From here, take out your primer, and prime it.
I'm anal retentive and sanded it after I primed it to remove any small bumps. If you're not as crazy as I am... then don't worry about it. You should be fine without sanding again (up to you really). After that's said and done, take out your body paint and give it a few coats.
Once again, I sanded this a little to remove any excessive marks between coats. Not completely necessary. After you get your last coat of paint on, time to whip out the clear coat and add a few layers. The more coats, the shinnier it gets. I added 3... because, well... I wanted to. To remove the tape, DO NOT just yank it off, as you'll peel off some of your freshly laid paint as well. I'd recommend taking your scapel blade and tracing it around the outline of the laid tape and then SLOWLY removing the tape. It should come up nicely.
EDIT:
From here, I decided to take some Zaino Z-5 (Z-2 would've been too shiny in my opinion) and waxed it with two applications, applying Z-6 after each coat. This made the final product even smoother, shinier and slippery!!!
And just for fun... here's a picture of it installed. Enjoy!
I hope this helped,
Dave
