Replacement Vent Grill
 
Hey Guys:

I was thinking about replacing the white plastic vents on my 31SS with a powder coated billeted aluminum type. Has anyone else done this ? Where did you get them ?

I looked into doing this, too. But, I couldn't find any that were the same size.

I sanded and painted, cleared mine.....still looks great 2 years later.
Just a thought.....

Same here, the Billet ones are nice too!

The eddie marine ones are nice. But mine are peeling already only after a couple years.

After the aluminium begins to corrode and pits, its a waste of money to have them repainted.

Hopefully Eddie Marine has updated there fusion coating

Sounds like sanding, painting and clear coating is a viable option !
