That's from a dip process? How does that work to create the pattern?

Just curious!

the panels are primed, painted silver (what ever base color you want), and then dipped in the pattern.

the pattern is a clearish thin material laid in water, and then they dip the part letting water place the pattern on any shape part you have, then pull out, and then clear coat the pater underneath. the pattern is very fragile until cleared.

Very nice. Been wanting to install that saem GPS on my 342 but couldn't decide on how to do it. Can whoever cut the new main panel design do another one?

I still have the patters, and could Make another I guess but I don't think I could make them for the money it's worth.. Just to hard and time consuming .

Mittens, how much for the pattern? I could get someone to make up here probably. You put some work into that.

Can you give me the contact information for the company that did the panels for you. I would like to get the panels on the 33 redone.

You could make me one, and then I would let you know if it is worth it for you to make more
