Ok, So I did this whole process yesterday and I got pretty good results. I also painted my bezels black. A couple things I would like to point out though:

1. Do the oven trick. Don't question it, just do it.

2. I figured cleaning off the bezel with alcohol after sanding (just like tinting tails) would be a good idea. Wrong. I got a weird bubbly pattern after I sprayed it. I sanded it down and its better now, but still looks odd. I had better luck with the other bezel. I sanded and painted without an alcohol wipe down, just a dry towel.

3. Rustoleum for plastic works great! No adhesion promoter needed, We will see down the road how well it really worked.

4. This is my main point!! The freezer trick did not work that well for me. I left it in there at first for 10 mins, then again for 20. It just would not come out that easily. Instead I popped it back in the oven for about 5 mins and ran a screwdriver down the groove and mostly all of it came out. It was kinda messy but it worked well.
