I have a 2000 302 Boss, the dash panel and glove box have a checker flag graphic on them that turns purple in sun light. Was curious if anyone knew who painted or printed them or if they can be remade with same graphic? Made a stereo filler plate and would like to get it done to match the two other panels.

I dont know what mitcher t charges but going with a vinyl wrap on your dash is cheap and will totally update the look! Go crazy with your design and it can be printed out and applied for about $100.
Here's what I did for $300!

Wrap is cool , but what happens if you rub up against it? Or a canvas pole bumps it? It will be damaged. I am a wrap designer and you can do anything with it,but it is not durable it is just a sticker.
Hope this helps......

Guess I should ask, does anyone know who did the graphics on them for the factory? Really wanting to know if it is painted or printed, or already done in sheets and needs cut out.

The newer Baja dashes used a graphic film and clear coated.

The color shift you are seeing is just pink pearl over the graphics, then cleared. Any paint shop should be able to re-create the design for you very easily.
Try it yourself with Testors brand spray paints. I've fixed Los of parts in my 29 that turned yellow with candy red. Base coat silver, candy before the silver cooks off, then clear the sh!t out of it. $20 project.

Talked to some of the paint shops, they are not wanting to touch it because of trying to recreate the checkered pattern. So figured it should be something a graphix shop should be able to print.
