TotalBoat TotalTread Non-Skid Deck Paint, Marine-Grade Anti-Slip Traction Coating for Boats, Wood, Fiberglass, Aluminum, and Metals (Light Gray, Gallon)

Easy application using mohair roller and 1” quality brush. Seems to be sticking well. Looks great with enough grit to be non skid, yet not too rough. Have yet to see how durable it will be…fingers crossed!

Product came packed very securely in a heavy-walled cardboard box. Even so, the delivery people still managed to drop it and dent the bottom of the gallon can. No fault of the seller, but clearly the heavy handed delivery company. Thanks for the gloves, stir sticks and pouring/mixing cups! The paint itself was very EZ to work with and I got a great finish. I did one coat and noticed some lite coverage in a few areas, so I feel strongly that 2 coats are needed. It was pretty sunny out so the mis-coverage was my fault. Even so, the finish was very very nice. I used a 1/8" nap roller and did not need to tip it with a brush. I used blue painters tape to mask my areas and then pulled it up without issue in about 30 minutes time. I HIGHLY recommend using the gloves because this stuff is not easy to remove from your hands without full strength mineral spirits. I waited a few days to let the paint cure (not sure that was needed but I did my best to stay off the new finish and not wash or scrub it for a few days). When I washed my boat the following week, I totally noticed a renewed sense of safety thanks to the new nonskid paint! And having my nonskid as a new color, people can totally see where to step and NOT to step when running around the boat. The finish is easy on my feet too. All in all it was a great project that made my old girl look new and sexy again! My tip for others with an old, chalky, no-longer-shiny fiberglass boat is to wetsand the glossy (slippery) areas to bring back the shine (really works!) and then mask off the non-skid areas and paint that area with this TotalTread product. Again, this project made my old boat a new boat! I purchased the sand beige (check out the pix). I ordered a gallon: one coat on a Catalina 30 sailboat used up about a quart. So then two coats would require half gallon. Everyone's mileage will vary but that's my math, FYI.

If you want a marine deck paint this is the paint for you. A little pricey but worth it. Easy on and durable. Especially on your pontoon. It will also work elsewhere. Great product

Applied to the deck in my 21' bay boat. Looks good. The quart covered the deck floor with 2 coats. Only issue I had was that it seemed the "nonskid" particles in the paint rolled out a little inconsistently, despite shaking and stirring the paint. There were sections after the first coat that seemed like it was painted with standard latex paint and was still smooth, while other sections had the nonskid appearance and feel you would expect. The 2nd coat helped with some of this inconsistency, but I still found areas that were a bit sparse in terms of grip. This could have been an error on my end, or my method of application (4" foam roller) but just something to be aware of. Make sure you prep well, mix well and apply using the recommended method and you should be happy with the results.

This paint worked great on my boat. The color looks really good and the texture is perfect for non-skid. It gives solid grip without being too rough, and it made a big difference on the deck. Overall, very happy with it and would definitely use it again.

This Total Boat Non-Skid is great stuff. Goes on well and looks fantastic. The feel under foot is nice too. Grippy without being abrasive. My only complaint is that Total Boat shipping is awful. First order was lost or damaged. Instead of resending they did nothing. Lost 2 weeks trying to figure out what to do. Finally cancelled and reordered. It still arrived late. Just ordered another can so I can finish up and it too is late!! If you do order make sure to order it with a week or two to spare. By the way, the one can that did arrive was damaged. Big dents but luckily it didn't open. I'll order from Jamestown Distributors next time. Almost the same price and free shipping. Product good. Shipping BAD.

Great product

Great paint. The paint goes on easy and one coat coverage. I ordered gray but I felt the color was more blue. I ordered another can (because I decided to paint other areas) I ordered a gallon of light gray the color was perfect. Definitely would recommend. The price seems high but worth it.
