I'm not sure if anyone has done this yet, but I bet there are a few people who would like to see what it looks like. I plasti-dipped the windshield sides to match the tower. Looks like it should now. The only bad thing I noticed is that the cover rubs on the top of the windshield and starts to rub off the dip. I put the cover on 8 hours after I sprayed and I bet if the dip dried longer and actually cured fully it would be fine.

Do you have any pics zoomed out to see the whole boat?

I tried this with some white stick on panels when mine was new, to match the White tower. But wasn't keen on it, that looks better all white though.

Just a thought.... Wonder if you could wrap that in white. Would definately be durable. I may look into that. It looks good.

How about powder coating it?

Did you take everything apart to spray it? Or just tape it off?

I just taped off around the windshield and the gunwale. Plastic dip rubs off really easy if you get some overspray. It was literally a 1 hour project.

Do you have any pictures from farther away so we can see the whole boat?

Love the new view. I was really interested in the white tower for some time, but not having the windshield match was a problem. Looks like a great job and solution.
