I don't have a Mamba Green car to compare it to, but it's matched to the Porsche code and seems right based on internet pictures. Also did my first matched set of Tach and SC bezels in "Shark Blue" (aka Rustoleum Sail Blue) for @Hawk and they looked great so far. The tach ring has a lot more surface area, so harder to get a perfectly uniform finish without nibs, etc. but for doing them in my garage without a proper paint booth, they look pretty good I'd say. :)

Let me know whenever you have a mamba green ready to ship and how to pay you for it :) More than happy to take some pictures & videos when it comes in but from that picture it looks perfect.

I did quite a bit of painting over the last few days and now need to let them sit and cure at least a week. Whenever I send these before the paint is fully cured, the paint tends to crinkle for reasons I can't quite figure out (maybe the air travel temps/altitude?).... But yes, if you've asked for a bezel, be sure to PM or email me your address. I'll be sending them via USPS Priority Mail small flat rate box, the ever-changing cost of which is $8.25 today, so I'd ask folks to cover that (net of paypal fees, etc.). @JimB and @myjc see the Bordeaux ones in the lower right -- they have your names on them. :) I ended up using the full base/clear, so they have a gloss, as the original base coat is just too vulnerable to everything -- even water made them sticky.

Actually the bezels sitting on the drying board look better than some things I’ve seen at modern art museums. Let’s call it “Sport Bezels in S Valley”
