Protectakote
From
!

This is the best paint for non-slip applications. It conains small rubber granules wich are no only kind to hands and knees, but also kinder to any previously applied primer or other paint. It is meant to be applied quite thickly at about 1 square metre per litre, but I have found that on boats you can get a good surface at about 3 sq. m per litre.

Colours marked UVR have greater ultra-violet resistance (at greater cost)
