Refurbishing dash panels

[aquapower]

I've used Axon a couple of times and they always deliver a great job. I'll contact them and see what they can offer.
Does anyone know if the removal of the hydraulic pipes for the steering wheel is a small/PITA job? I'm going to have to remove the panel underneath the steering wheel whatever happens unless I do what Kashurst has suggested but I don't like joins/patches. Rather get it done correctly.

Removal of steering helm will require draining of oil and re bleeding

Andy, I will take a look on Wednesday as to what will come off and how easy etc.

You can go to the company near York that do all the Fairline dashboards, I can't remember the name of them.

That will be Axon, I've seen panels where they have been wrapped and look awful, you can't beat having them done professionally

Yes, and I'm really pleased with the result. I'll post piccies later once I've worked out how to.

Hydo-graphics might be a good solution for this application.
You can have pretty much any pattern you like

Its then lacquered for a durable finish

Here are the results, a couple before piccies and the end result although the pictures don't really do the result much justice. The colour is columbite and is a current Fairline colour so I'm told.

Two different steering wheels!

Like the note Navigation Equipment .... maybe a guest would think it was a TV!

Looks nice.

Very very nice

The colour is actually called Cubanite silver. It is a Mercedes colour that Axon have used recently. Google image "cubanite silver Mercedes" and you'll see what I mean. Very nice colour imho. It is Fairline OEM, and also used on some custom dashboards Axon made

I stand corrected o'wise man of all things boaty
Cubanite it is then...
