[QUOTE="stomper, post: 468338, member: 12788"] Thanks guys. It's great to get tips from someone who has experience with this before. I am on the fence with the bed line on the floor and casting deck. I have seen a few build on the net where guys have used diamond plate and just painted it and it looks pretty nice. My only concern is the durability of the paint and if the diamond plate would get slippery when it is wet. I have a buddy that has a powder coating business and have thought about diamond plate and powder coating. He has done a cage and bumpers for my Polaris RZR and it is tough stuff and would be much more durable that paint but also alot tougher to fix if it wears through. Has anyone had experiences with painted or powdercoated aluminum floors in their boats. I would leave it bare but I think it would bake me out on a hot sunny day, not to mention the bright reflection coming from it would be unbareable. [/QUOTE]
