For surfaces that don't need much flexing, I like the idea of using plastic laminate, like what is used for countertops. It comes in thousands of patterns, textures, colors etc, from tastefull to bizzare. However, I don't know if it has enough flex for anything but a hatch or sliding door cover. It is certainly more durable, and easier to clean the the stuff that comes stock in a Westy, though. Marshall Ruskin 84 Westy
