Deck Painting Begins

Below is painted white and the sole with Kiwi Grip non-skid.  We are very pleased with the results.  Once this was completed we taped off the interior and went to work on the deck.

The new seahood is now installed and ready for non-skid.  Deck is prepped and first coat of smooth white has been painted.  This week we will do two more coats of white, then a major job painting the non-skid with grey Kiwi Grip which we think is a great product.

For applying the Kiwi Grip we tried trowling on then working out the air with the Kiwi Grip rollers.  This worked OK, but not was well as painting on with a 3” or 4” brush.  With a brush you are able to smooth out the Kiwi Grip then rolling the non-skid in ½ the time.  Also with this method the Kiwi Grip is even and not wasted when put on with a brush.  I would not recommend using a trowel.

This week Waterline is doing the bottom with Baltaplate sanding and buffing to a glass finish.  Before the end of the month we will be going out the door to finish off systems once we have the deck hardware installed.  Getting close.
