floor paint

[jeffmo]

i'm going to paint the floor of my boat and a while back i saw a thread that mentioned a specific brand and now i can't find it.anyone remember what it is?
also,if i have several small old screw holes to fill before painting what would be a good product to use?
thanks ahead of time!!

Mine may have been the thread you saw, but I'm not totally impressed with the floor paint I used. I used Interlux Perfection (2 part) with Prime-Kote for my entire deck (everything above the rub-rail), but I used Interlux Brightside (1 part) with Pre-Kote primer and a texture additive for the floors. The 1-part paint is not nearly as durable as the 2-part. It has separated from the primer in a few small areas.

I know a number of guys have used Awlgrip and have been pleased with it. Do a search for it and it should produce a good number of threads...

I used Durabak on my 250 Sportsman floor. It holds up good and i have yet to slip on it. BUT i wish i never put it on my boat. It is hard to clean and right now is absolutely disgusting. I wish i could strip it off and start off new. I would recommend Sherwin Williams Tile-Clad two part epoxy paint. It is tuff as steel. I used it on my splashwell and bilge and love it.

i've been doing some reading on Intelux Interdeck paint and it sounds like a pretty good product.anyone have any experience with it?

[awthacker]

Is it two-part? Overall, I was very heppy with the Interlux products. Especially the product availability at West Marine.

installed floor access and 5200'ed

(notice how i notched the floor so the access is flush so it doesn't become a toe stumper)

awthacker,the Interlux Interdeck is a one part polyurethane w/ a nonskid compound added to it.i will be doing the floor by myself so i'm hopeing this won't need tipping.

No, it definitely won't need tipping. Use an inexpensive foam roller from Home Depot instead of the "solvent resistant" ones offered at ther marine stores.
