Crazyhorse 47 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Tried 2 pot, a bloody nightmare years ago especially to get off again. Went to acrylic, worked well but a skating rink then flaked, like the 2 pot. Met a guy in the yard here who said he uses "paving" paint! I'm into trying new ideas but not sanding them off again. Anyone used this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrWatson 382 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Paint your deck with UV resistant epoxy and then peel ply it and later rip the peel ply off? No idea if it would work, but I'd like to find out... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 544 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 What is the substrate you are painting onto? Glass, timber, Steel? The two pot should not have come off, in the short term anyway.Paving paint is a difficult one, in that there are about a dozen different types. From cheap water and Turps based, through to the more expensive single pot Polyurathanes and Epoxies.It could be said that the more wear resistant a paint, the longer it lasts, but also the harder to remove once you need to. And more expensive of course. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crazyhorse 47 Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 Timber (ply) deck glassed over. Has acrylic on her now but after 3 years a lot has come off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Pope 253 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Road paint and sand works well!!! but a bugger to remove!!! and colour choice limited to white or yellow, could be tinted, if required? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crazyhorse 47 Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share Posted June 23, 2018 If youre going single pack, Id just go to resenes and get one of their acrylic non skid paving paints. My thinking too. I should have asked what that guy used, was dark green and looked bloody good for the time he had it on. I'm sure he said it was acrylic paving paint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Crazyhorse 47 Posted June 24, 2018 Author Share Posted June 24, 2018 Is this for non skid areas or just painted on the whole deck? Whole deck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Crazyhorse 47 Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 Yep, available but no good. The other issue is 'potable' water. We use our scuppers for rainy day tank filling and the manufaturers who are in Perth said NO. Back to plan A..or was it.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crazyhorse 47 Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 Google emerclad, its the same kind of acrylic yoghurt as kiwigrip or dont slip but a lot cheaper. Buy a loop roller to make the texture Where did you get it? Seems only available in Aussie? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Crazyhorse 47 Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 "Resene Non-Skid Deck & Path"??. Waiting to hear from them if its lethal for use with water collection! Couldn't find CRC griptred, only some epoxy stuff called safety grip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crazyhorse 47 Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 Resene called back, non toxic so wilk let you all know how it goes! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Myjane 40 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Crazyhorse crc don’t make it , they used to do a griptred some years ago but rules and safety crap stoped them. The product is tredgrip rubberised non slip coating from A&I coatings I have a gallon here as back up , just clean off roll three coats on , drys fast so you can do two in a day I will try to send a pic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crazyhorse 47 Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 Colourplus seem to be the only agents in NZ and nothing in Whangarei. Looks bloody good! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Myjane 40 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 It is has a roughish finnish kiwi grip is applied with a textured roller , so it’s the style finnish you create with the roller , this paint has cranuals of rubber in the paint of eaves size , so just roll it on , three coats , if you need remove it just scrape away it’s very easy , some maxi race boats have it on , it leaves a good looking even finnish , and if you have that old style cork /resin finnish , just go over the top and it’s new again, the old finnish I had was only fading in color after 17 years and crc made that one but closed due to health and safety , why I don’t know , it’s just water base paint , worked for me I have a brochure and all contacts if needed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beccara 25 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Used it in our highwear onboard/offboard lip, Bubbled up in 6 months, Mostly all gone now 12 months later PIA to get off but just give it time and it'll do it itself Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tazzy Devil 18 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I did mine with Kiwigrip, and agree it gets bubbles etc pretty quick but on the upside it just needs sugar soap and wash to prep, doesn’t need a perfect surface (hides everything) and is one coat and done. Expensive though. I went super coarse finish and a year in if lots of use it is still fine. My boat is raced so gets a hard time from crew, don’t really clean it or anything just use it.
