I am the owner of a O'Day 22, 1979 vintage. I give the old girl plenty of TLC including making sure the fiberglass is properly protected with a yearly waxing and polishing. My problem is the non-skid portions of the deck. The non-skid cannot be waxed and it has become chalky under the sun's effects through the years. I have seen the newer Oday 25's and other O'Day models with painted non-skid decking. The color is a very neutral and appealing putty (light beige-tan). I would like to paint my decks the same putty color. Interlux offers a great paint but the available color does not match the O'Day standard putty deck color. Does anyone know what the specification of the deck color for the standard O'Day factory finish is? Or do I have to mix and match paints to create a custom color? Thanks for your help. HAPPY SAILING - Winter's Finally OVER! regards, Stu Timm "Karakahl" 1979 O'Day 22 CB Centerport, NY

Nonskid color
Hi Stu - Unfortunately, I don't know the color code to match factory specs on the nonskid, but since the nonskid is a contrasting color, you should be able to paint it in something appealling to you. Just find something close to what you like and go for it. Sounds like a cherry 22 you have there - lucky boat to have an owner such as you! Best, Trevor

what i used
I redid my 22's non-skid with easypoxy's "pearl gray" it is a bit off from the origional but I can tell you , it looks sharp. Very close to the original. It went on like butter and I wish I did this to the boat when I first bought it. ( Now that I have sold it, next year I am going to re-paint the non skid on my new O'28)
