Anybody paint or powder the stainless rub rail?

My boat would look great painted black and was just wondering if anyone has done it or have seen it done?

Saw this in The Axis forum. I really like the look!http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/04/19/fd973beea58e6dd5315784eeef0ffb01.jpg

Every Axis I have seen has a solid black rub rail like you pictured. Up close I always thought it looked cheap, but agree on dark boats it does look decent. I think you'd lose a lot of the durability by painting or powder coating. Since it is just a plastic channel with a stainless insert, you should be able to remove the stainless and replace with black plastic. I saw a boat that used the open channel for LEDs on wake world.

That's the only one I've seen. I think if it was gloss black it would match the black accents perfectly.

Is it plastic?

Pretty sure Moomba used a black rub rail at some point?

I wouldn't think powder coat would work due to the flexing of the rail

It looks nice though.

The OBV's come standard with a black rub rail.

I have a black rub rail on my 12 Mojo and hate it. Constantly having to clean the white paint off of it from my guide poles. I would much rather have the stainless rub rail. I actually may look into changing.
