Cool

Personally, my recommendation would be to NOT paint it. Instead, cover it with U-Pol truck bed liner, or Rhino-liner, or any of a few other pickup truck bed liners. They come in various colors, so you are not stuck with black or grey. (mine is a really light tan) They hold up forever (going on 3 years for mine already with no sign of degradation), are soft on bare feet. (it's a Urethane blend of rubber after all) and cleans up with a hose with no staining. Plus they are sanitary (good when there's blood all over the deck) and you don't have to worry about slipping. In fact, the ONLY thing you might have to worry about is if you wanted to remove the stuff. (If doesn't like being removed and will resist your efforts) Look at my boat on page two of the following thread for what it looks like.

You can buy the U-pol on eBay (U-pol Raptor is what I used) or from them directly or from one of their dealers.

Oh, and it's flexible and waterproof also, so you don't have to worry about it cracking and pealing like you would with paint.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
