thanks, Harvey. The deck, ceiling, and walls are all an icky beige color, so we want to paint it all - would regular latex paint be a no-no on the deck? That's all that seems to be there now, and it's very non-skid - I'd rather not add any other non-skid particles.


Bob has much more experience with resurfacing, painting etc. so go with his advice.

After much research, we decided to do TotalBoats Bilge paint, in the bilge area, mostly because they had other colors of deck paint that we could do a final finish with to make the whole deck one color. But the TotalBoats deck color was just a bit too yellow, so we went with Rustoleum oyster white for the rest of the deck, and just used the bilge coat under the splashwell. Hopefully, we can run a final coat of the Rustoleum over the bilge coat.

The hard part has been keeping everything warm enough as it cures, but so far both are doing good, and I'm impressed with the hardness of the bilge coat (if you keep it warm,and wait a week or so between coatings). In this pic, the color of the deck paint looks a little off, and it looks whiter on the floor than around the sides, but it doesn't in person Smile And the beige will finally be gone when we can do the middle section Smile
