Nonskid paint: almost finished with the deck!

The deck proper is finished!!! (Neil's still working on the spray hoods and locker covers.) It looks like a BRAND NEW BOAT up there. The non-skid (Epifanes in #1 Cream) went on beautifully, so easy to work with. But when it dried it looked the most hideous color! I got all upset about it, but then we took the dried paint pan outside into the daylight and it looked just fine. It's these gross fluorescent lights in the building. They make our skin look like pallid grey-green ghost skin, and they make perfectly good deckpaint look awful, too! Here are some pix along the way. First, the tape and masking paper from the previous steps was removed and I carefully retaped on the new Awlgrip to mask for the nonskid. I used a can of spray adhesive as the template for the radiused corners, since it matched MOST of the original corners.

Then we just rolled on the Epifanes. Two coats, a day apart.

The finished product!!!!!!:
