ebay's got them with/without handle. with/without lock hole too.
If you sand it down yourself it will probably be a lot cheaper I'd say around 15 to 25bucks thats what mine cost to get painted black along with the handle. Just get some 320 grit sandpaper and wet sand it smooth then take it cause there labor rates are $$$.

You seriously only payed $15-25 bucks? Were they painting something else along with it or just the bezel and handle?

There's usually a minimum being that it costs time and money just to get out the paint supplies, gun, etc... few places I've been to usually charged around $80-100 as a minimum for small jobs.

That's what I was figuring.

Where'd u take it? I see your in Denton so it probably wouldn't be to far from me
I just bought one on eBay that is victory red for $100 shipped the same guy has all colors available. If I wasn't on my iPhone I'd get you a link.

yeah, if u can send me a link when u get a chance that would be great. What did u type in for the search because I'm not pulling anything up
I sanded mine down and painted it myself. I figured i'd try it out and if it didnt turn out well, then send it to the painter. But the NNBS bezel is a bit bigger tho...

Yeah, I might just try it myself and if I mess up to bad I can buy a new one. They're only $20
Just go get it painted.:shrug: That what I'm going to do and its not that bad of a price to get it done.:imo But I have not got it done yet so I dont know how good the work is yet.

Too bad he doesn't have any in black with the lock(listed anyways)

Sorry I should have mention that but your right about that, I had it painted along with some other items, so it made it worth while. I try to save up the small pieces to paint with a bigger piece since typically they like to paint dark colors during the same day and time, so I have been told.
