Am I nuts? 1940 Plymouth Commercial Car (Truck)

Just got the running boards back from getting the tops sprayed with Line-X. The intent is both protection and function. Originally the boards were just painted, and over time the paint would wear off with foot traffic in and out of the truck. I wanted to use this truck and not worry about dinging up the nice paint job, so decided to go with Line-X as it should wear well and also give some grip when wet (we do live in the Pacific Northwest after all). The pictures really don't do justice to the finish as the roughness reflects the light kinda wonky. They look nice in real life.
