re: Ideas for temporary carpeting in aluminum boat

do what I did, I put restore deck coating on the aluminum floor of my aluminum boat and its just like a spray on bed liner.

it can be colored to any color you want because its like a paint. I used the light gray and its like an off white color very similar to fiberglass boats. its barely warm sitting in direct sunlight and is also a sound deadener coating.

the only negative is you need 3-4 days not letting it get wet so it fully dries and cures all the way through.

it wont stick to bare metal so you need to prime coat the floor first with a good metal primer.

here are some pictures

after 2 years of heavy use the coating hasn't worn off or lifted at all. its very comfortable on bare feet and is a non skid surface
