Anyone aware of a place to buy plastic or metal white bezels?

Been looking for a while.......Got white DC Jacks, In/Out Jacks, but no bezels. I do have the lead on a company that may be willing to make them, but I am waiting on a price.

Ok cool, soon as you get some news or general info, i would be in for sure.

Tried to paint a black plastic bezel with white krylon yesterday night.

Just could'nt get the little top border to become white, whitout «gooping the whole thing....

I have never seen anywhere but it sure would be cool.

GC, did you try priming that little puppy with some white primer and then painting with a brush white?

Nope, but i just gave him another coat, and i think that it will do the job, as an exhibition thing...

Would'nt be the most durable, but sure will look great.

Stay tuned! Pictures coming shortly! :mrgreen:

Turns out, that paint don't want to stick on it at all, i tought it was dry, well....it was...

Took in in my hand and just flaked away....... :|

So i'll forget about it for now and just use black ones.....until i can source some white...

Anyway pictures of some thingys coming...while i'm in the wait of some parts to complete some builts....

Envirotex is really not appealing to me, i'm making a big batch of enclosure and sending them to my friend body shop next week, he'll clear coat them all with some super Dupont clear coat that is hard as nail and he don't charge me a damn penny, since he'll do them with left over clear that he have when he completes a car.

This is going to be my new way of doing it. Only thing is i have to stock and prepare good quantity of enclosures....$$$ again..............

Oh man, if I had that resource I'd do that too for sure.

I would sand that little bezel, put some oil base primer on there and then oilbase white paint. If it is chrome that is why it won't stick for sure.

Many a failed science experiment has turned up some golden gems by accident !
