E32-3 Going Overboard with the Engine Instrument Panel
Before... ...After It's amazing what a little fresh paint and new gauges will do for an engine instrument panel.

E31C Brightwork Refinish
The appearance of the forward hatch on my boat was looking a bit tired. Even though the varnish gets refresher coats, I am always bummed at how quickly the gloss fades and if left alone too long, you're looking at stripping back to bare and starting over. I wanted to take the hatch off and...- Martin King
