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

I used TotalTread on my Cape Dory 25D to bring the flat surfaces back to life. Super easy to use and great surface after 1 coat.Day 1: TapedDay 2:- sanded with 120 pads, lightly, and then cleaned with an acetone rag. (1.5 hours total with my wife helping)- painted with Total Boat top surface primer (or whatever it’s called)- dried enough to sand in about 90 minutes (85* and cloudy outside)- lightly sanded with 220 (30 min.) and dusted all the powder away- Rolled on 1 coat of tan Total Tread with foam rollerDay 3: today - went to check and everything is dried and set. Could have went a little bit heavier with the 1st coat, but will not likely add a second.Will be ordering again in white to hit the remaining non skid surfaces.

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.

This was my first time using Total Boat productsThe top edge of our pool, steps, entryway had cracks so when doing a restoration with a Bondo product and then putting the Total Tread Kingston gray, we love the texture and sheen, but the color needed a little more depth so after calling the manufacturer , they recommended Wet Edge product we intermixed Kingston gray with the black until we got the color we we’re looking for. We are so very happy we used these products. Sheen is not too much and the non-skid is just enough. We are very satisfied and happy. We use the pool heavily over this memorial day weekend with over 40 people and dogs going in and out and it has held up with no signs of failure or scratching. I would highly recommend this product to anyone needing to redo any type of fiberglass area as it worked fantastic for us.

Went on smoothly, holding up so far. Used it on an aging deck. Cleaning and priming the deck took effort, painting it was easy. A couple of thin coats deck looks great. Paint color consistent, can't tell where I needed to touch up. The silica is easy on bare feet, not at all slick after rain. The grey color I ordered was much lighter than I expected, glad now. A darker color would probably be hot in southern summer sun. Good value from Amazon for 3 gallons.Looked to buy paint locally, it was $60 a gallon more. Issue I had was that shipping boxes arrived in perfect condition, the cans inside were severely dented, one slightly leaking. It was necessary to transfer paint to cans I picked up at home improvement store. No returns. Mineral spirits just fine for clean up.

It’s a very great paint it’s gloss and thickness is really as shown in the picture it also dries really well I highly recommend

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.

Paint has good texture. One coat covered well and it cleans easy.

This product works well, BUT, it was shipped in a box with no padding and ended up all dented up. The lid does not close back up as well as it should now. I will use it up, but not a good experience as far as shipping!
