Heres another option.......
This bezel was painted (by a previous owner, not at the factory). I stripped the paint, then a good cleaning with muratic acid, wash with water, dry, then I used some "gun blueing" from Wallmart (sporting section). Dont worry, it turns it black, not blue. Just another option.
