There are a number of products available. I like the old fashioned Wing Walk Paint because it's cheap and easy to apply. As with all paints, the prep work is the important thing as is mixing the compound up well before you apply it.
There are also some sticky back applications available. The common one is a product available from Aircraft Spruce and the like. It's a thin, anti-skid product that is peel and stick, reasonable priced. I find that it wears quickly and needs to be changed every few years. The other is a bit thicker, very washable but about $20 per square foot. Probably only sold at the outlets that sell aircraft paint, but I've never really looked for it, my painter uses it. Both are 3M products. Hope this helps.

Still climbing at 100 ft/min, 75mph. Upon landing the right side wing walk paint had flaked a square foot piece off. I assume there must have been some entrapped air that lifted it off, probably helped along by past fuel overflows, cold temps -5F. Any suggestions as to either the wing walk paint or the safety tape would be the way to replace it. Bill Winstanley N1659Z
