Upgrade for external GFCI outlet

[dznf0g]

Would either of these work for replacement the outside outlets?
Particularly the stainless Marinco. Does anyone know how it latches closed and can it be mounted horizontally?

I wonder what these would be like stripped of gray paint, polished up and clear coated? Anybody done this?

ICOCBW, but I don't think this cover actually latches, it simply has a spring closure. if mounted hinge forward to the tongue, it might work OK at keeping water out of the outlet when moving. probably be all right at rest when closed.

i believe that these are plastic, but might take a coat of paint? Krylon offers a Chrome Aluminum metallic

The second I listed is cast aluminum. Maybe that's the way to go?
