has anyone done this themselves? What grit do boats like HB , Mav, BT, EC use from the factory? Spray or roll? Thinking about doing my B2, any opinions welcome

Spray it. You can get the awlgrip non skid additive

 

[Northfl89]

I probably should’ve told you the ratio.. it’s 8-10 oz of griptex to a gallon of paint. So break it down from there.. and that is by weight..use a 2.0 primer gun.

Are you mixing the griptex to the paint then spraying or are you dryspraying the griptex to the wet paint ? how many coats?

and are you spraying 545 primer first?

 

[Northfl89]

545 first. Mix with the paint let it soak in about 20 minutes. I only did one coat of NS. Two coats total

When i did my nonskid i did 1 table spoon of griptex to 6oz of paint, mixed in. Using a 1.4mm nozzle devilbiss gun. I found more than that clogged the gun. Prepped and primed the area like you would without non skid. I did 2 coats with the nonskid and came out pretty good.

I've tossed around the idea of doing the same on my B2. Are you going to sand out the diamond non side first??

This stuff looks pretty good. Soft Sand Rubber.

i saw that you did two coats nonskid above did you do a third of just paint to seal it?

I'm wondering the longevity vs griptex because of the softer product, any experience?

No experience with it, but I'm planning on using it on my build project.

Nope. Just the griptex mixed in with the paint. And I used the coarse griptex. The only time I’ve had a grip issue is when it’s covered in fish slime.

I just rolled on Interlux non skid paint on my kids boat. It came out really good. It helps to tip it after you roll it to get the non skid additive evenly distributed. The texture is pretty coarse with just one coat. A 10-15% thinned top coat without additive would help.

I used Perfection w/ Intergrip on the floor of the Ankona I just purchased. It turned out very nice!
The first batch of Perfection w/ Intergrip was pretty hard to spread. I added thinner to the second batch and it went down like butter comparatively!
If you are rolling it, I found the “black” mini foam roller from Sherwin Williams to hold up much better than the others I purchased from Jamestown Distributors they recommended.
