[QUOTE="TommyBobber, post: 229724, member: 7162"] Thoughts on colors... I'm fixing up an older 14 foot Gregor that has a blue-ish/ grey interior coating. The bench tops may get a stained wood finish or a vinyl covering of yet unknown coloring. If I get the SliderG5's, I'm locked into trying to match the interior to them in green. If they were offered in a neutral color, a tin boat rebuilder could install them without having to worry about it being the right shade of red, green, blue or whatever color. By neutral color, I was thinking maybe one or more of these would be good- [b]White or a light grey .[/b] Either gloss or a semi flat. Cool in the summer, always looks clean and matches up well with the average color fishing boat interior. [b]Aluminum.[/b] Dull or bright. A little shiney gloss "bling" to make a boat stand out. [b]Black.[/b] Gloss or flat. These might get a bit hot on a summer day. I would be willing to take that chance. This would look good with any color or stained wood. One last idea would be to also offer them [b]uncoated[/b]. This way the customer could have them color matched by thier local powder coater in whatever shade floats thier boat. Thanks, Tom. [/QUOTE]
