Crome guards (fenders for you guys over there)

[Puzzlescort]

Doing some winter maintenance on the trailer and both guards are looking scratched and untidy....

I have noticed that a few trailers now have the guards crome plated

I know its pretty much a look thing but has anyone had any draw backs having them crome over painted

I don't know if I would chrome them in your case. I would try and get them painted to match either the blue or grey in your accent stripe. More likely the blue

What about just putting some diamond plate over the top of the painted fenders? Gives you the best of both worlds? As long as you step on paint its going to scratch quickly. Diamond Plate is much easier to polish up and maintain. For what its worth when my boat is in the garage, I still drape a towel over my fender so I dont track dirt in and out of the boat.

I like Seadek on them. I've been wondering what it would cost if I sent them templates and took off the diamond plate stuff.

I wouldn't put diamond plate on my fenders, in fact I had diamond plate initially and took it off. They always rust underneath

I think that's a clean looking setup as it is. What's wrong with just repainting the fenders? Just step on the tires instead of the fenders or put down a towel on the fenders.

My dad has something similar to his Mastercraft trailer. They work great but after 16 years its starting to peel and we store the trailer in the garage.

I'll second the Seadek. The stuff is as strong as an ox and is great traction. Depending on size of fender, Sea-dek mat with Nautique logo is about $40 per side for the tops of the fenders.
