I used BBQ silver (grey) on mine, they looked OK till a day on the river, then they were dull and started to rust, did it 3 or 4 times that season. Black might not show the rust as bad. I went stainless after that :thumbup:

I have been fighting carpet glue for many hours now, finally I found 2 tools that will remove it. One is a paint/ rust stripper wheel for a grinder, other is one of those oscillating tools with a scrape blade for the heavy stuff.

  Lacquer Thinner works great for carpet glue let it sit a few minutes and it scrapes right off.
