My 1988 Catalina 30 needs new paint on the deck. The non-skid is currently grey. The painter is recommending that I go all white or white and tan. He thinks this would make the boat look more modern. I know this is a matter of taste but has anyone changed the color of the non-skid on the deck of their 30, to what color, how did it turn out and do they feel that it improved the look of the boat? Thanks

No, but
I have seen some boats with white painted decks and I think you have to be careful about glare from the sun from all that white. I think the grey decks look better. Good luck, Jim

stay with grey
I had grey on a 25 and white on a 30. Most Catalina's I have seen are grey and it is modern enough for me. The white does get dirty. If I had to re-paint it would make sence to stay with the same color. It will hide any imperfections that you may have.

I painted my 77 Cat 30
And used an Interlux "White revisited". It is a flater white with less glare than say Mediterian white. It worked out nice as a contrast on the non skid areas compared to the brighter med white. It is all in the sight of the beholder and its your preferance. Good luck.
