To avoid this tape off the same area that was taped before. The contrast from smooth gelcoat to non skid area usually makes a slight difference in shade appealing to the eye.
Kiwi grip is much gripper than Interlux Interdeck from what I have heard. Also have been told that season one with kiwi grip is very rough on knees etc if on foredeck for example but gets nicer by year two. Interdeck has a very fine grip (sand) so is easier on the body but not as good for grip. Both can be applied directly over existing gelcoatnonskid with no primer. You could prep and paint the cockpit sole in an afternoon using Interdeck. One alternative from Interlux is to use Brightsdides paint and add the non skid additive and possibly flattening agent. This gives you more range of colours than Interdeck and is same thing. See this link for our previous boat done using Interlux Perfection Off White with non skid additive and flattening agent. Touch ups when gear moved etc with Interlux Brightsides Off White with additive and flattener - perfect match (note these are on googlepages and will ask if you want to download) https://ae4bcba2-a-62cb3a1a-s-sites.googlegroups.com/site/fulltilt2ca/po rtmainwin.jpg https://ae4bcba2-a-62cb3a1a-s-sites.googlegroups.com/site/fulltilt2ca/fu lltilt2deck1.jpg This link using Interdeck http://users.eastlink.ca/~mhoyt/Projects/recore/Recore_Done_web.jpg Mike -----Original Message----- From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Bill Bina Sent: Friday, May 31, 2013 7:17 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List non-skid paint A close match will always look like a repair. My tip, is that when you can't get an exact match, use contrast instead. That doesn't mean extreme opposite, it just means use a color that doesn't look like a failed attempt at a match. Maybe a very light gray. For the cockpit sole, I would probably also investigate some of the various materials that could be applied over the surface, such as plasdeck, or those interlocking rubber mats which are removable.
