So I'm freshening up the base of my middle seat, pictured below. I was going to paint it just a satin black...but then thought maybe rhino liner would be cool....we usually just put it in to get to the campsite, then pull it out and set it on the ground, so it takes some abuse. Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Brian.

anything other than black or a dark dark gray will look funny.

There is a plastic endcap that will give it a finished look.

Keep your eyes peeled on the classifeds or send some emails to the usaul used parts guys.

Agreed on color..
Satin black
or maybe dark dark grey... maybe matching the OEM Westy vinyl floor.

I used POR-15 which gives a gloss black.
