Interdeck, with added non-skid from Interlux, matched the texture of the non-skid on my two mid-50s boats.
On the 25, we used Interdeck with no additional non-skid added. On the 25, virtually all of the deck is non-skid. Only the vertical surfaces in the cockpit (the bulkhead, the seat backs, the sides of the “foot well”, and the inside of the transom) are not. The Interdeck without added non-skid dries to a flat (not gloss) finish. And the color matches, which I couldn’t guarantee with Brightside. I’ve used Brightside as a topside paint on the transom of the 38, and it dries to a gloss finish. The 38 has several areas of the cabin top that are glossy with no non-skid texture. We did not paint those areas. There was a close enough color match that the difference in color is hardly noticeable from on the dock – and not at all visible from 15 feet away. And not using Brightside for the glossy area saved a whole lot of prep work.

The first was my friend’s Tartan 37. On the recommendation of the guy who does most of the work on Imzadi and after seeing the Tartan a year after being painted I used it on my 38. After another year I did my 25. I had originally considered doing the deck s with Kiwi Grip. Interdeck is a 1 part paint. About $40 a quart at West Marine. Unlike Petit deck paint you can’t tint Interdeck for color match. The off white looked to be a good match for the faded smoke white, but turned out to be a little brighter white. On Imzadi, the non-skid got painted and the flat parts of the deck, cockpit bulkheads, and house were not painted. After two summer, I don’t notice the difference any more. On Belle, the gelcoat where the house meets the fore deck was pretty warn by 44 years of use. Patches of gelcoat were essentially gone and you could see sunlight through the laminate from the inside, and amber blotches in the deck. We used Interdeck with the Interlux non-skid additive on the non-skid (which is almost everything on a 25) and Interdeck without non-skid on the cockpit bulkhead and vertical surfaces. I was surprised at how easy prep was. Wash good with deck cleaner and a stiff brush. Wash again with Comet and a stiff brush. Rinse thoroughly and let dry. Paint the first coat.

I've chosen Kiwi Grip for the non-skid. Ten years ago I tried a two part primer and Interlux Perfection and painted the transom only. I picked a day with too much heat and the sun hit the transom each afternoon so I had to grind/sand that off and recoat. I ended up using Brightside and it looked very professional but is now showing some problems after ten years. I just tried Pettit EZpoxy for the first time on a helm seat. Same price as Interlux but flows out better and easier. The paint went on easy and looks great. The primer, EZ Prime, stinks more than the finish coat, EZ Poxy but the smell goes away once the paint dries. Nothing stinks as much as Bilge Coat which I find smells for days so I'd like to avoid Brightside which is a close cousin. Two part paints are supposed to last longer but they cost more and I want to avoid all the carcinigens and eternal mixing of two part primer, two part finish coat, two part flattener. Any opinions out there, Pettit vs Interlux or some other system? Chuck S, Resolute 1990 C&C 34R
