ADVICE: Refurb my tack trunk in SoCal

[meganwass]

Hi everyone! I am looking to refurbish my tack trunk from when i was a teenager. Walt Distler in New England (who has since passed away) built our trunks back in the day. My current barn in Los Angeles uses Phoenix West but I don’t think they can refurb it to look similar to their own tack boxes. Even if i could find someone to re-panel it in my current barn colors it wouldn’t be a total loss for me. If not, i will just get a cover for it and not take it to shows with me.
Below is the closest i can find to my trunk. The all vinyl and metal - no exposed wood on the exterior.

Ideally it would be a company on the west coast. Not looking to ship this heavy thing around the country. Thanks!!!

Have a seamstress make a cover for you.
Easy, peasy, have her put in a cushion, making it comfortable to sit on.

You must be in a hunter barn…

Acerbo’s (which is actually in New Jersey, but keep reading!) can make vinyl decals for that kind of trunk. I think it was vxf111 who originally posted about having had this done. If your chrome trim is in good condition, I would think this is a very viable option.

I have the same kind of trunk, and at some point plan on having them make decals for me.

you can have the decals done by your local sign shop as well.
