So I'm cleaning a lifetime of dirt off of the metal bezel with some green cleaner and while dirt is coming off, I'm left with areas that look like something ran down the bezel. So I try some alcohol and quickly realize that I'm removing the gold paint on the bezel. That's OK because I couldn't have put it on the radio looking like it did. So has anyone spray painted one of these bezels? I would describe it as a mat light gold color. Just go to Lowes and see what I can find?
