Default rubber for the swimplatforms

I have a factory baja swim platform, and I wanna get it powdercoated this winter, but I have to remove the rubber that like on top, the non slip stuff. Anyone know where I can get new stuff at? ITs like a push in kind. It just pushes into a grove in the platform itself to hold it tight..

I would go to a local powder coat company. They should be able to sand blast it and powder coat it. Check out the Illusion Powder Coats by Dupont. They sparkle and change colors in the sunlight. I'm getting one delivered tomorrow. Can't wait.

I know exactly what you are talking about and I know some people who had a very hard time finding what you are talking about.... and that was when there still was a Baja company. I would post in the Baja section and hopefully somebody can point you in the right direction.
Baja did not make there own swim platforms. I think they were made by Extreme Marine. Maybe check with them also.

There is still Baja by Fountain on a very limited basis, but I highly doubt anyone at Fountain would even know what he is talking about. Baja only used that style platform for a couple years.

Maybe Brett at Perf Boat Brokerage might know. He was Baja dealer before he went PBB.
