    Re: Blinding Longhorn chrome center console bezel

    Very nice! I was planning to paint mine also but I had some old carbon fiber vinyl wrap laying around so I put that instead.



    2019 Ram 2500. 8” FTS Lift. 38x15.50 Fury MT’s on 26x14 XF Offroad wheels.


    2013 Ram 2500 Big Horn 4x4/Raceme Ultra with DRD WARP tunes/EGR, Throttle Valve, DPF Delete, 4'' FloPro/5'' Rough Country Lift Kit with 37's on 22" Fuel Flow

    Nice. Is vinyl very hard to work with? I want to start wrapping some stuff on my boat. Maybe the bezel will be something easy to start with.

    Its not hard at all. Key to vinyl is patience and heat. But for the bezel I only used a little heat on the corners. Besides that it was very simple. Just clean, apply, and trim the extra.

    Funny, I was just walking through Walmart on a mission to get rid of that glare... and ran across this thread. It was in the "trending now" alert from tapatalk...
    Great timing, knew just what to buy and I think it looks great.

    What I REALLY want is to be able to trade out this 2015 console for a 2016-17 version with the phone holder and different cupholders...

    1st step was to remove the chrome bezel, it was very easy using a credit card- go around the outside of of the bezel and slide the card in, when slide the card back and forth you will feel the tab that secures it just press the card into the tabs and pull up on the bezel, you may need to make a couple rounds as there is about 9 of these tabs.
    2nd is to use some alcohol and clean the bezel very well.
    3rd Since its chrome I used a self etching primer (found at an auto parts store) to give the following coats of paint something to stick to a few thin coats is all that's needed.
    4th I used a colored primer (found at Walmart or home depot) to top coat the etching primer.
    5th is the color matching paint for the seats and trim I have (found Walmart) I also found a dead match to the light tan color but think the darker color looked better in this spot.
    6th the color match paint only came in satin and that was just a lil to shiny to match the interior so a coat of flat clear (Walmart) was dusted on top to bring it to a nice even flat finish.
    I'm absolutely thrilled with the results and it looks like factory. This method will work for other interior chrome, but the console bezel is the only thing that was blinding me constantly https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8d7454e108.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7eae5b3370.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...49aca4db05.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...eb4d2e90e1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a04c7c8da8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a1e07a18b6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b01b6d7c99.jpg

    Looks great nice job.
    Yeah I would like the wood cover for the opening like on the 16+ but would still need to paint the ring on it

    I need to do this so badly, I have the silver and gray interior. Even the ram on the steering wheel gets me, I was thinking about scuffing it all with steel wool just to knock it all down. Wondering if tinting would help at all so I may wait until I do tint the windows.

    That chrome trim ring was the worst design idea Ram had LOL. I got so aggravated with getting blasted in the face with sun on the highway, I ripped mine off and threw it in the backseat while on a road trip. I flat blacked it shortly after.
