Anyone used the "brushed aluminum" marine vinyl?

I've used it for odd trim pieces here and there on the dash, but never used it in upholstery.  Anyone have any experience in how well it holds up to sun/heat/abrasion in seating?

i've used a silver carbon fibre look vinyl on my own boat.
it seems thicker than normal vinyl and is wearing ok,
I can't really say on the UV as they live in the cabin
when not in use and our sun won't be as harsh as yours.

Not brushed aluminum but I've used the shiney gold on piping on allot of older searays   And Starcraft I e used the metelic hammered look kinda like fishscales  seemed good quality also.

If it's the Enduratex brand, it is a full marine grade vinyl. It Will hold up great. I have not had any issues with it not holding up.  :D

Can't seem to get my mug shot back on???? I know it hurts you all.
