I have used Plasti-Dip twice on the carpets in our 240. The first time was around 5-7 years ago when we found the black rubber backing starting to get hard and flake off. The hard and flaking rubber was on maybe 20-30% of the carpet backing area, with the damage centered around the snap fasteners. Apparently the snap fasteners get hot in the sun and begin damaging the rubber backing. We used one can of Plasti-Dip to coat only the 20-30% that was damaged.
The second time we used Plasti-Dip was last summer. That time we bought two cans and coated the rest of the rubber backing. About $10 or $11 per can at Home Depot, plus a couple of cheap disposable paint brushes. Doesn’t leave any more black marks on the gelcoat than the original rubber backing, and probably is leaving fewer black marks now.
The bang per buck for this procedure is pretty astounding, especially considering the cost of new carpet or SeaDek.
