Alright I know there's a lot of you out there from Santa Clarita. Here's what I got: I want to have the dash panel on my boat painted to match the rest of the boat. It's made of some sort of plastic material thats all bleached yellow from the sun. Anyone know of anyone that would do this kind of work maybe even in gelcoat? And for a semi-reasonable price?
Thanks in advance

It's white ABS plastic. Remove it, take it to a plastic shop and have them make a piece out of white acrylic (plexiglass).

You could do carbon fiber then clear coat it with an automotive urethane. Any platic shop should be able to make the new piece.

Ok I found a couple companies I'm gonna check out. Thanks for the idea. Still anyone out there know of anyone around here that does airbrush work or anything. I'd like to add some graphics to this panel and make it look real custom.
Thanks

You could call Patrick Gray @ rhino graphics exchange in Redlands(951)258-5702. They custom paint rhino plastics and just about anything else. They do classic to crazy so the dash panel should be simple. Tell him K.P. sent you off of H.B.

I would check out roberto's in Castaic 661 257 6887 he does real good work and great prices. the other place would be Abstract fiberglass in reseda 818 342 4814 they both specialize in boats

Ditto that. Have seen some of the work that Roberto's has done and was very impressed. What amazes me is that most boat shops do some pretty good gell and paint work and have yet to see one with a spray booth.

He is a cool cat. Drove my dad's race boat for several years. Works on some nice stuff: cars, boats, hot rods, etc.
He is near Home Depot on Soledad.
Tell him Chris Taylor sent you. He is a very good friend.

Oh ok. Like said, have gone to many boat shops with my buddy that do gel work and didnt see any spray booths. Just seemed odd is all.
