Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
Highly unlikely. If it is not physically damaged, and just chipped paint/ugly, Im with Bond-o on this one. Clean in up/sand it/strip it with paint stripper and repaint it. Put some elbow grease into it as a project and you will appreciate it that much more.
I bought a piece of that aluminum edge trim at my local West Marine just a few months ago. They had ordered it in for someone that never picked it up. Taco Metals still makes it. I am sure that is where West got it since they carry Taco rub rail. It was smooth instead of having the bead detail yours has.
