A good marine painter or an auto body shop should be able to handle this. We used good quality marine mono-epoxy paint (I don't remember exactly what). The frames now disappear visually, and combine with the glass (which has a significant tint). The look is much cleaner and more modern, and the freshly painted surface adheres well to the sealant.

I had a problem with leaky windows, so I decided to try the reseal kit from catalina. Unfortunately, I seem to have made the problem worse. I bent the aluminum frames a little as I was removing them. I thought I pounded them back into shape and caulked them well (maybe not). At the end of the day, my GF says she never liked the way they looked anyway, and I would hate to go through this repair again to find that I still didn't solve the problem. Therefore, we are looking for other options. I didn't see anything on the catalina site. Can you get new window frames from catalina? I did find another company listing retrofit windows for catalina (http://www.cruising concepts. com/retroftwin. htm). Does anyone have any experience with cruising concepts? Other ideas? Other vendors?
