Deck Refinish stage 2 Kiwi Grip

  Kiwi grip is some great stuff.  This is a latex-based paint that is back-rolled with a texturing roller. It is easy to clean up, easy to apply and leaves a great surface for your shoes to grip on. So far I am really happy with it.  The only drawback is bugs seem to like it. I suspect because it is latex paint it has a sweet smell that attracts the insects but I think it will dissipate after some time.  Kiwi grip photos via Tik Tok. 

Deck Paint Second Coat.

  Ezpoxy second coat.  For the record I don't recommend Ezpoxy.  It is hard to work with and I'm under-welmed by the results.  Regardless the second coat is on and it looks like it could use a third in some spots.   

Stage one 1st coat of paint.

Stage one EzPoxy painting completed.  Today I got lucky and the weather cleared up and I got the first coat of paint on the deck and cockpit. Stage one is all the flatwork.  Stage 2 will be the non-skid.

Started getting ready to paint this weekend and then the sky got dark and it sprinkled on and off the rest of the day.
