Re: Aluminum "wood" bed floor
I did a wood laminate over exterior glued ply.
Only because I had it on hand and it was free.
so far so good.
funny to see guys at cruise in ask how I got such a smooth finish on it.
I tell them hours on a buffer!

Re: Aluminum "wood" bed floor
seen them live at charlotte autofair this weekend...they look like what they are...a piece of aluminium with a wood grain decal ....theres no clear coat layer on the decal so no depth or gloss , just kinda blah...and not the most realistic woodgrain either....so my opinion they're ugly but should stay that way for a long time

Re: Aluminum "wood" bed floor
If I want a floor to look like wood I stay with wood. If I don't want the wood I swap to a steel floor and paint it.

It's aluminum so yes it will scratch & ding as easily as one would expect aluminum would.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
