I got a 3" by 4' piece of diamond plated stainless and cut into 4 pieces I added the front corners tonight, looks good, will finish and post some pics tomorrow.

Please post those pics. I can't picture what like would look like. How did you secure it?

Looks good.

How did you get your handle grinded up? Looks like a pet got to it. :shock:

Damn!!!!! How many times have you hit the ships?

Have you guys ever had any dealings with the "Keeleasy" stuff. It looks promising.

Thank you for this topic, I will be picking up my PA in two weeks I can't wait but looking at the damage some of the PA's take I can see why S Steel would be a great option! Looks good. I have something that I might try, (it is used in miltary application for surface protection, its flexible and should take the beating!! once I have my PA i'll post up my modifications.

Funny part is I'm in Plastics and I have some films that may do the job pretty well. once I get my PA in my hot little hands i'll try a few materials on it to see the fit and finish and test it out on the PA to be sure that the adhesives do not react in a bad way with the PA's "Skin". http://www.flickr.com/photos/90539573@N00/6980335071/in/photostream If all works out well, I can give you all enough to try it out for free! Thats the least I can do for fellow PA owners! I will call it large samples! have a great day!

YakAttak has a product that is being tested now, it is called GunnAll Guard, I remember seeing a picture so I went looking for it and found this: Don't know if this would work for you guys or not.
