Got my original taillight bezels re chromed.
Need to paint the edge.
Is it meant to satin black and should I lightly sand the edge primer then paint.

Here's a post on the topic from when I did mine.  I used the Fine Line tape and SEM self-etch primer and SEM Trim Black.  I scuffed the areas that need paint with either steel wool or scotch brute (can't recall).  Great results with the paint and masking tape.

Did it thanks guys.
What a difference

Are these visible when mounted
Should I paint them black also

Yes.
Technically, the factory painted the bezels as an assembly.  On many original housings you can see a black overspray line on the top surface.

What is the name and location of the chrome shop that you used to have the taillight bezels rechromed ?

Thanks

I had a complete set of taillight bezels rechromed by Paul's Chrome in PA.  They were nice cores and came out very nice.  Not inexpensive, but they do very nice work.
