Non skid deck paint

[robmcg]

We would like to repaint our decks which are painted non skid already. The problem is the colour. It's a light blue at the moment and we would like to paint a similar colour. Looking around the yard, the closest match seems to be what is painted on some Westerly decks (Fulmar in this case). It isn't the sky blue Westerly colour (Squall Blue?) but a mid blue sort of colour. Any ideas which brand/colour code it is?

Think you will find the only lightish blue is International Squall Blue. Hempel only do a dark blue. You can, of course find a colour that suits in an ordinary enamel and add your own non slip, but perhaps not as tough as Interdeck.

I used KiwiGrip on my decks last year. I used standard colour from them, but I was told by Vitesse (UK distributor) that Kiwigrip can be provided in other colours to choice as water based colourings can be added to a white base colour - could be worth asking them?

Buy your own deck paint - ie not gloss ! Then sprinkle in the non-slip sand available at any good chandlery.

Has anyone used 'GripElast' paint? Saw an advert for it in PBO but can't find any reviews of it.

I used the beige version of this https://www.premiermarinepaints.co.uk/buy/premier-anti-slip-yacht-boat-deck-paint/51

Not expensive and it's worked well.

My boat has light grey non slip which I couldn't readily match. I bought the white and the dark grey from Premier, mixed the two equally and it came out near perfect.

I am thinking that a hybrid mix might be the way to go. It was what the previous owner used. Just hope I mix enough up to cover the whole deck in one go ��

 

[Lightwave395]

I mixed a litre of each colour, 2 litres was then more than enough for 39 footer

I used sandtex a v cheap and long lasting outdoors and mixed in black paint to reach the grey shade I wanted in 3 big tins so I would have a spare tin for top ups in future years.

I did mine with Kiwigrip. You just buy the white and tint with the readily available tints you can get for a few quid on e-bay
