Author	Topic:   Refinishing console door bezel
Chuck Tribolet	posted 05-23-2010 07:13 PM ET (US)         The bezel around the outside of the side console door on my '97ish Montauk is starting to flake the black paint like crazy. It appears to be a zinc allow die casting. Any suggestions on refinishing it? It doesn't have too look original, just black and not flaking. Chuck

We use it on all of our outdoor equipment. I have never seen the stuff flake or peel. The enamel just seems to remain flexible even when it ages. The next best step is powder coat but that is just such an expensive hassle to get done and if not done properly chips. Steve
