Lou,

I am in a similar situation. It is about $1800 to replace w/ new glass ( a quote from the original manufacturer, American Marine in Florida.

I thought about the powder coat thing, but it's a hell of a lot of work to disassemble, I think. And, then to fill all the pits w/ a filler and then sand blast and powder coat... I'd rather bite the bullet and replace or just clean it up.

I am going to polish it up w/ a product called FLITZ, to the best she can look ( I expect her to dull again quick ). As for the pitting, I have some, it's cosmetic not structural. I have so much $$$ going out on my restoration project that this is one area that I am going to wait on.

As for glass replacement, I am going to go the safety /tempered glass route as opposed to lexan or plexi. No price on this yet, but I'm sure it'll be a few hundred bucks. As for the darker glass, I know it's an opinion thing, but at night, all your gauges and lights might reflect off the dark window, making a little tougher to see.
