What do you guys think?

Wow Dan...that really does look good!...nice job...back in 1999 when I built up my 1st V20, I wanted to do zackly that cuz my buddy had a 21 Rabalo w/a black framed Windshield...I always thought it looked good...

You might see some more like that...I don't think I would paint the rub rail, cuz that IS gonna get chipped eventually...

Some non skid paints are too aggressive on the texture...one of the guys here partially sanded down the high tips of the texture on the paint he applied and then painted a second coat w/no texture in it...I always thought that a good idea...
