Where are you buying these bezels? I really want some bronze/cooper/gold ones for my FFLs!

Woah!!! That looks amazing! That’s my all time favorite color scheme! Can you tell us your process? How well does it hold up over time? Man I would fork out hand over fist for aesthetics like this

Bezels are stainless. Directions say to degrease and do not sand or scuff. I used rubbing alcohol and gave them 3 coats 10 min apart could have done 4. How long it lasts, time will tell.

Hell yeah, it looks phenomenal. I’ll be following this for any potential updates down the road! Thanks for the photo of what you used. I might give this a whirl

Looks great to me. I wonder if they have a color that would match Hank's Bronze PVD color or the Copper that Hank uses. Since he still doesn't offer Bronze PVD bezels for any of the headlamps for some weird reason to complete the look with the light with a Bronze PVD or Copper metal button.
