Has anyone painted the non-skid deck surface. I have a 1975 C22 (Jubilation). The non-skid deck surface color is "Butterscotch" (as my sister calls it). It gets very hot in the summer sun and my wife definitely does not like the color. I would like to paint the surface white. Any recommendations on what to use and how to do this? Thanks in advance.

I see that this is addressed in another discussion.
I will check there for advice.

My boat was just painted the butterscotch non-skid on my 73 model with pickup truck bedliner material with some silicon beads poured in for good measure. Sprayed and it looks nice with the original pattern of the non-skid still visible. I used white, latex bedliner material from the local automotive paint store. It was a hundred bucks for a gallon of the paint which was enough to do all the butterscotch.

Larry,
Do you have any pictures you can share of the finished product? I am considering this project.

Rico, most people paint a contrasting color in order to cut down on the deck glare. If you paint the entire deck top white it will be very bright the whole time you are on the boat. Recommend you go with a off white, light gray, beige, or maybe lighten the color you have now. Mine is light blue, the original C22 color and covered really well with just one coat. If I ever do a 2nd coat (the original lasted 34 years), I'd try to talk my husband into lightening the blue to a softer color. |
