Here's a photo of where I started - dated and worn black dash, original SW gauges looking tired.

I stripped and repainted the dash white, the lettering is all painted on with metallic teal and a few coats of clear, New Autometer gauges and teal bezels. I also rebuild the throttle and shifter with new wear pads and springs and a fresh coat of white paint. Similarly I did the engine hatch switch panel and both power bolster switch plates. I'm hoping when installed it make the boat feel like something from this century.


I'll post up some more photos when I get it installed in the boat along with the new wheel.

ICU - Thanks!
I painted it. I did a white base, masked everything that wasn't a letter and shot with the teal. It was a colossal pain to get everything lined up properly, and there area few small mistakes that probably I'll only notice - nothing worth a repaint over.

Thanks all.
US1 - It's not a logo per say, it's my signature. I was going to sign the back, but I had all that extra white space that was begging for something.
F350 - I found a white fountain wheel to use for now.
I plan on installing towards the end of April assuming the snow is finally finished.

Looks nice!
I have an extra wheel if your interested. 100.00 and I'll cover the ride or 75.00 + freight. I purchased for my last dash and ended up buying a red one. Never installed.
