Source of light grey non slip deck paint

[GrahamP]

I am trying to find a supplier of a light grey deck paint as seen on a Moody yacht.
I have tried google searches and the Moody Owners website but as I'm not a member access is limited.


Are there any (Moody) owners who can provide any guidance or recommendations?

I also like the light blue/grey colour seen on Westerly decks.

Any info would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Graham

Hempel (was Blakes) have non-slip deck coating in light grey - see the colour chart http://www.boatpaint.co.uk/datasheets/Hempel/Hempel 2013 colour card.pdf

Should you not be able to source a proper and expensive 'boaty' deck paint, there is a a substantial body of experience on the forum which indicates that textured masonry paints from e.g. Dulux, B&Q, Homebase are

1 as good, if not better, in performance
2 come in more colours (hundreds rather than tens)
3 are about half the price
4 are more easily available through ordinary commercial outlets
5 come with a long guarantee (though for landbased functions rather than marine )

I have used International's Interdeck. I dont believe still they offer the light silver grey that I first used on mine but see the website.

hempel/ blakes aslo offer the non skid granules to add to ordinary paint

Textured masonry paint has, as already said, apparently proved to be a good alternative but ITYWF tends to come in large pack sizes. Add Sandtex to Sarabandes list


Stick to light colours or you will find the decks get too hot t sit on or walk on in bare feet if the sun happens to shine

I think you will find that the Hempel/Blakes one does not contain the "grit". It has the be bought separately and added

That used to be the case, but it now contains non-slip aggregate (as the page you linked to says).

seconded I HAVE USED IT AND IT HAS BEEN GREAT

Thank you to everyone for all the tips and recommendations.

I may well be going down to the harbour with several paint colour charts to get a match!

Do any Moody owners know which deck paint was used originally, or is was it a moulded, non-slip gel coat surface?
