Is it possible to remove this bezel to repaint it or do I have to leave it with the correct patina on?

It's very easy to pry off the bezel with a very small flat screwdriver. Sand and paint it with SatinBlack paint to have it look Factory again. Clean and polish the glass (looks like its a glass unit in the pic) and carefully crimp the edges back with a small piece of wood or plastic. The rubber ring covers any imperfections when its installed.
