Method for cosmetically altering a fiberglass piece

A method of cosmetically altering a three-layer combination of a fiberglass piece, the method comprising the steps of:

• applying a curable gel-coat outer layer to a mold for the cosmetically altered fiberglass piece;
• applying an intermediate layer of textile immediately adjacent to the outer layer on an outer side of the intermediate layer, the textile comprising a graphical element disposed immediately adjacent to the outer layer in a manner viewable through the outer layer;
• aligning the graphical element to a desired orientation in relation to the outer layer;
• applying an inner layer immediately adjacent to the intermediate layer on an inner side of the intermediate layer, the inner layer comprising at least one of fiberglass roll, fiberglass chop, carbon, or aramids;
• applying a bonding agent to wet out the outer layer, the intermediate layer, and the inner layer, thereby resulting in an assembly of a wet out three-layer combination;
• and
• curing the three-layer combination, thereby resulting in the cosmetically altered fiberglass piece.
