Anyone know where to locate these? An older post from Joe indicated they were available from Whaler; but, they don't seem to be available today. Alternately, I have the panels and they just need to be re-painted. Any sources for this?

If they just need re-painting, take them to a body shop. Shouldn't cost much

Blank instrument panels can be ordered through the parts department of a Whaler dealer.

One dealer that offers superior parts service is Twin Cities. Sue Lodell, the parts manager, is great. Look under sponsors (top right corner of the page).

I ordered a set for my Montauk refurbishment from her.

Hi, just did the panels on my 1990 19 outrage, sanded them down, zinc chromate primer and then two coats of flat black. Look good as new, minus the white stripe~

I found that Powder Coating was better than painting but of course it cost a little more.

Hadn't thought of the vinyl pinstripe tape for the outline, thanks Joe.
