35 Dash Panel
Since Team Marine is out of business now does anyone know who can refinish a powder coated dash panel?

Refinish? you want to take your existing panel and have it redone? or go completely new? I am in the process of making a new panel for my boat....i drew up the design on AutoCad here at work and sent it over to a guy i know to have it laser cut.....then i took it over to a local guy that powder-coating....my next stop will be to one more guy that does laser engraving as soon as i decide what kind of font i want and the layout of my switches....then i will possibly have it clear coated but i may just leave it as is.....depends on how it turns out...

not gonna be possible to leave the etching intact and refresh....unless its possibly sun faded where a coating of clear might bring the color back to life......you will probably have to have it stripped and start over unfortunately...at least this way you can customize the text font or re-arrange the switch labels to your liking

I went with Steve at Innotech and will have my panels in this week, will post a few pics when they arrive. Steve is a great guy to work with, he is also making replacement step plates for me also.
