My 72 was changed to 71 headlight bezels at some point. The black bezels on the 72s and have always been one of my favorite features.
Not wanting to spend $150 on reproductions I ordered a used set for $30.
Krylon Fusion textured black and a decocolor premium chisel tip paint pen we’re all I used.
Washed them with dish soap and let them air dry then wiped them down with alcohol before paint.
Laid down 3-4 layers of the krylon to cover some pitting. Ended up being an easy job after I realized the paint pen would be much easier than taping off and spraying silver parts.
Nice job. I did a similar project a few years back. My Cutlass had 71 bezels and I ended up spraying the whole bezel in black then carefully using scotch rite with even pressure to get a uniform ring around the bezels like the originals.
