I painted the cuddy of Truelove over the weekend. I used PPG textured deck paint called Revive or Restore or something. THe idea is that is will fill cracks and hide the underlying texture of old deck boards. I thought it would be just the think for the unfinished fiberglas surfaces below deck.
It is very thick and retains the texture when applied - unlike most paints it does not flow out to a smooth surface. It also has a lot of sand. The can says it will cover 100 sf with two coats and that is about right. I used 3/4 of a gallon with two coats. Since is is intended for decks, it stands up to foot traffic, and can be exposed to the elements.
So far it looks really good. Time will tell how it holds up.
I started thinking about this when I read about KiwiGrip, the non-skid paint. KiwiGrip tech support says there paint does very well for my application. Unforunately, KiwiGrip is ~$65/qt. I looked for something similar, cheaper, and local.
Here in MN lauch is probably still weeks away.
