refurbishing Nicro rubber deck vents
FYI.....refurbishing the rubber Nicro deck vents. Painted red interior with a red gloss enamel. Cleaned exterior with MEK (methyl ethel ketone) and paper towling for a new bright white surface. MEK can also be used to brighten the yellowed plastic deck plates too. Surface may be slightly stickey till the MEK dries

.Saved hundreds of dollars. Has anyone else done this?

I have used the Nicro-coat spray paint to refinish mine but the Rostoleum Fabric and Vinyl spray paint seems to work just as well.
