I've replaced my stock attwood plastic air vents several times because of yellowing after a few years. Are there any vents that are a direct replacement? I have tried some powdercoated ones from Eddie Marine that I ended up sending back because they wouldn't fit. Any suggestions?

I replaced the white with the chrome finished ones, got them from West Marine. They looked better on my last boat, in my eye, because of the anniversary paint graphics.

I had my buddy at his auto body shop paint all my vents including the large side ones.
Everything matches and NEVER fades.

Yes I know that the large ones are painted 'glass
but still wanted everything to match to the gel on
a 1996 lightning

Appreciate the responses. I might try to find some metal ones and have them spray painted to match my color.

They can't spray the plastic ones, can they?

YES my original vents were repainted.
I guess I didn't clarify that I had the factory stock plastic vents painted.
They have a gloss shine to them and never fade.

I glassed over mine. Plenty of airflow from the cockpit into the engine room already on my boat -- there are 6x12 inch hole each side under the side of the cockpit. I don't know, but you might have openings there too. Mine's a sportfisher, so its obviously a lot different from a lightning.

i just painted my 6 atwood plastic vents today......they have a good gloss I prepped them with 1000, 2000, cleaned and shot with rustoleoum appliance white......looks good...i also shot the larger side vents (mine are glass) on a 92 model boat......
