Painting the Floor...

[jasoncooperpcola]

I believe its just paint. The only real way to keep any floor paint clean is to have a washdown on board, or keep a scrub brush and scrub it when it gets dirty.

I think the main reason new floor paint holds dirt is the dirt gets embedded in it. Again that comes back to a washdown or a scrub brush. Usually I will dump a bucket of water on the floor when running so it runs out faster and wont lead to a wet deck. We had a 150 Johnson on our V and I dont think it was enough weight. Either that or we had too much weight up front. The water would always run to the front of the deck while sitting still.

A very easy application is degrease and scuff existing floor then wipe down floor with Mek. The apply pre-kote primer by interlux then finish off surface with interlux inter-deck nonskid paint. Inter-deck already has the granule mixed in so it makes it easy to apply. Roll it on.

I used the Duraback and liked it!! At the end of the day I always wash the boat and use a scrub brush and bleach, always cleaned up nice! You can also buy Duraback smooth with no anti skid in it, then add as much as you see fit when you apply it. some just use sand so its a fine anti slip.
the anti slip is no good it you go bare feet!

Here is mine before

I also used the grey Durabak. Put it on last summer.

It has a nice patina now...

Go to "Search" and type in "Durabak18" for my old thread on the subject.
