[Q] Chrome Bezel

---

I dropped my phone yesterday and scratched the chrome bezel that goes around the from of the phone. Where can I get a replacement part or is there any way to repair it?

your best bet is to just put a cover on it, its not easy to change, this cover is good, it covers the bezel

or get an otterbox which is more expensive

Or the body glove

Is there any site i could get the part from? I've changed the housing on my HTC Hero from sprint many of times how much harder could it be?

dont really know all i can say is try and google it, or you could put a case on it

Someone put up a tutorial a while back to flat black it out.. it was some black magic though idk how he did it lol but stealthy looking

o man. that would be awesome. im going to search for it now. lol

This sounds like a CRAZY idea, but I build plastic models, so this might actually work.

Maybe you can try masking off everything on your phone except for the bezel then sand it down til all the chrome is gone (low grit to higher grit for a smooth finish). After cleaning all of it up, use any color spray paint you want to repaint the bezel. You might need primer for it, depending on what kind of paint you use. Maybe topcoat it as well to protect the paint. Just make sure you spray in very light coats and it shouldn't run underneath the masking tape. :P

Obviously, this will take a lot of work, but that's the only thing I can think of if you can't find spare parts.

Also, the person mbernusg mentioned in his post might've done something similar. Just a random guess though.

Hi,
this is the only thing I could find about bezel replacing:

NOTE: HE KILLED THE SCREEN, but I believe it could be done successfully!
