Any cool ideas for outside bumper rails besides tape? thanks.

Wes can make you some tape with holes to look like rub rails

Howard Clark machined down brass rod to make the trim for his 1/6th Wildroot "Charlie". He made a jig that he pulled the rod through to keep it from twisting and mounted that on a six foot Bridgeport mill. After pulling the rod through the jig, roughly 75% had been removed, giving a flat mounting surface and rounded face. He then drilled and countersunk screw holes and attached the strips to the edges of the hull with small flat head screws and epoxy, followed by black paint. Unfortunately, Howard's not around any more to ask about his methods

Wes Ellet has the aluminum edging with screw detail, this is a vinyl tape.

thank you guys. I guess put it on last and change if it gets rubbed. Looks very nice!
