[neilthewheel]

Any suggestions on a color match for a 89 Legend 37? Ill take into account the wicked suns effects. TIA

I used Kiwi Grip when I redid mine a few years ago and it has held up famously. Be sure to use tape to keep your paint brush lines straight. I did not and any sand for grip, just the texture of the molded non skid in the fiberglass. I have a 1996 Hunter 37.5. Don't remember if I bought a quart or a gallon. Whichever I bought I only used half of it and still have the remainder in a can.

Early last year I had my factory "non-skid" redone and it now actually is no--slip/skid. On any boat the factory 'dimples' seem to work best with a dry deck <chuckle> My original was a fairly light gray and in warm weather could not be walked on with bare feet. The new non-skid uses both sand and a much lighter colour. The sand makes it truly non-slip!!! Also, the lighter colour can now easily be walked on barefoot at any time of day/year. I am in the tropics and the ability to walk barefoot on the deck at any time saves the hassle of getting burned feet. A benefit of the colour change is that the boat's insides don't heat quite as much either.

Scott, Could you please post some 'after' pictures? I'm investigating painting my non-skid. Worried paint looks weird. I'd appreciate any advice. My 1989 Legend 37 is slick when dry.

Hi PJL, What product did they use to redo your non-skid?
My 1989 Legend 37's non-skid is slick as a a baby's bottom when dry. Super grippy when wet (but won't stay wet - maybe need a grocery store vegetable mister?)
thanks
