I went the Blue Sea way as well. Clever FleaBay scavenging will usually turn up 
a good deal.
If anyone ever wants to custom-build their own panel, you can try

Subject: Re: Stus-List Refinish/repaint breaker panels?

Joel,

I had the same problem with mine and years ago I pulled everything out (which 
is also when I realized that a complete re-wire was in order) and sanded, 
painted and added new labels. I will say this, it wasn’t really worth the 
effort. Ergo why I ended up buying new Blue Sea panels. Cost and effort-wise it 
just made more sense for me and it allowed for a future increase in the number 
of breakers.

But then I had to redo the backing panel to make them fit. And re-arrange the 
wiring. And upgrade the service to the panel. And then…

Maybe painting them isn’t such a bad thing after-all.

Best,
Dave Godwin

The black paint on the aluminum breaker panels looks its age.  has anyone 
either stripped to repainted theirs?  I need to redo the labels anyhow.
