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.
Really looking forward to receiving one of your Bordeaux creations - thanks again for the untold hours you have invested on our behalf in this very worthwhile enterprise. Can't wait to fit the bezel in place and admire your craftsmanship. PM sent to you re: payment details.

Please send me your PayPal info as well so I can transfer you the money, I’m in for shark blue Tach & Chrono please, I’m in Toronto Canada so standard ground mail via USPS should be fine and no rush, my email address is sps_reef@yahoo.com
Thanks again Tom, I really appreciate it
@Acropora Appears we have similar taste - Shark Blue GT3
Hawk, unfortunately mine is a GTS, originally I went with GT3 but dealer told me 18 months for an allocation and the GTS was 9-10 months so for now this will do, hopefully next year I’ll put an order for the 2ND generation GT3

You should be! The GTS is arguably the sweet spot in the 992 line up. It will run circles around the Porsche 959, Ferrari 512BB, and Lamborghini Countach, most modern sports cars, and all the other posters on our walls when we were in high school. :)

I'll be sending quite a few bezels out on Tuesday now that the paint has had lots of time to cure. To celebrate, I made this GIF to show off the colors we've done so far....

Thanks for the raw bezel! I did some matte gold plastidip on it.

Have you thought about doing a larger ring for the tach?
