I have to retain some little LED panels to a flat surface. The 3M doublestick adhesive foam is proving to have less than stellar performance after they warm up for awhile. I sourced these panels from China and none of the sellers have any clue for bezels. I don't think their translators handled that conversation very well. Retainer depth of about 3mm. Opening for LEDs: 52-55mm W x 36-36.5mm Qty needed: 1 dozen. Budget for this project: $10. ;)

Find a pallet with some good looking wood. Put it on your CNC router; cut out a bunch of nice looking and precisely fitted frames. Cost of $0 (aside from time to program the CNC and/or any broken router bits).

Source for metal or plastic bezels?

That was really nicely done - both the bezel and the instructable. I have done similar things by laser printing (white on black lettering) and sandwiching it between a sheet of plexi or lexan and the black-painted enclosure.
