Essentially it is a plastic coating that sprays on in in an off white color. The rod holders look like new. Another option is the the stuff you can dip pliers handles into, I think it is called "Plasti Dip" which would be another option but I tried the spray and it worked great.

I, and several others, have replaced the original Perko rod holders with Lee's flush mount 90º rod holders. Here is a photo: http://www.whalercentral.com/photogal...oto_id=775
