Don,

Do you happen to know the paint code for the color white you used on the rail?

Thanks

I have the codes for my old boat, but that was custom painted with a bright white. this color was brighter than what you have. If you are trying to match the original color I would recomend going to an automotive paint supply store and have them use the scaner on the side of your boat. This way you have an exact match.

any pics of just the SS insert over a black rub rail?

do you guys think that would look good on mine being light grey?

if it is in 6 or 8ft sections where do you start the first piece?

thanks

I ended up putting the stailless over the factory black rubrail and I think it looks great. I will get pics up after this weekend.

I am going down to the boat on Friday i will take some pictures of Stainless over the OEM black rub rail. I think it looks great. You start the first piece on the front bend.
