Default Painting Fever Windshield Questions?

The windshield on my 32 ' Fever is starting to look bad and I am considering getting it painted. How many of you have done this? Are you glad you did it? How is it holding up? Any suggestions? Can you post some pics? How much did it cost?
Thanks!

Thanks!
You should take it completely off and remove any snaps. Take it apart. That way every surface can be sanded and the paint won't be bridge anywhere and all srufaces need sand scratches too!.Otherwise it will bubble and fall off.
Then you may need a piece of your gelcoat or something that is the exact color white you want..Whites vary as well as any other color.

Then you need the right guy to use the right stuff to make it stick. If you were in Snan diego .. I would do it for around $ 500.00 . Good luck..Chad

is the plexi see through right now?

I would be careful painting that b/c it flexes so much. Im not so sure it would still flex AND hold paint.
