I decided on Interlux Perfection (2-part polyurethane) after initially
buying Brightside and then reading about the much better wear
characteristics of the two-part paint as opposed to the simpler one-part.
My results so far have made the decision a good one; I'm walking around a
lot on my cockpit and deck while I finish up the rest of the refit, and when
I wash off the dirt I don't see a trace of abrasion.  I added some #1 silica
to the first coat for the non-skid areas and then gave them a second coat of
non-sandy paint over the top, and they seem fine under bare feet.  I saw
this routine recommended in a book-can't recall which one-but I haven't
tested this in the water yet.

I am considering repainting the cockpit seating and floor areas of my C27
this spring. Any recommendation for a paint? I was thinking about a
polyurethane from Interlux.
