KiwiGrip KG10141R Non-Skid Coating, Flecks

Product might work as stated, however there IS NO GRAY - ONLY WHITE. If you want Gray, you must go to the paint store and have them color it. Unfortunately, Kiwi doesn't provide the color number of their "Grey", so you find out how light it is only after it cures. So, now the deck of my fishing boat is blindingly white. Thanks Kiwi for misleading your customers about the color. Might as well just sell Black and White and then tell them to add the color themselves. Also, does not cover as much Sqft as advertised. Expect to but an additional 50% if you put it on medium thickness.

Produit de très bonne qualité et facile à passer. N'hésitez pas à vous servir du rouleau spécial si on veut avoir son propre résultat ( gros grain , moyen ou fin )

I purchased the 4 liter size pack to restore the deck of a 19 foot ProCraft bass boat. Converting from carpet to non skid deck material. I considered several options on this project. The sand sprinkled in between coats of gel coat method. The paint with added non slip particles pre mixed. This product seemed to have all of the features I was looking for. I read the reviews carefully , watched several videos on the product. I then purchased the 4 liter package of white Kiwi Grip. It comes as four bags with screw on lids in one liter size. This is ingenious in itself for a paint product. Minimizing waste and making it very easy to work with. The bags have a gusset and stand upright themselves. I must mention, this stuff is amazing to work with. Use a simple sponge brush to apply and spread an even coat. Use the roller to bring out the texture. Don't rush, this stuff is very forgiving. Made a mistake? Hit it with the roller again. The end result is the most beautiful DIY non skid deck paint I could ask for. The material itself seems very durable. I have just completed my fresh coats, and they look stunning to me. I recommend two coats for excellent coverage. Some good advice is to work in smaller sections and to not try and roll this stuff out too thin. Apply an even, decently thick layer with your foam brush in the entire section that you want to work. Come back with the roller to bring out the texture, then move on to the next small section and blend together with the roller. There is plenty of time to work with this product given the heat and humidity factors aren't against you. I used this in Florida in the springtime. I am very pleased with how it handled. On the fiberglass deck area, we sanded then pressure washed the surface. The deck lids are constructed of aluminum. I used a paint removal wheel on a grinder to remove old glue and paint to bare metal. Then coated with an acrylic based corrosion resistant primer to seal and promote a healthy bond. I will post a more in depth review regarding how the product wears. I still have a good bit of a one liter pouch left for touch up. hopefully this stuff lasts and cleans up well through some good years of use.

Likes: Easy to apply (mayonnaise consistency), coverage equal to or greater than advertised for sailboat aggressiveness, durable, cost effective, easy to obtain consistent texture, easy cleanup, fast drying, good for touch up/reinstatement of previous texture. Adheres well to sanded paint base. Conceals less-than-perfect repairs really well. I like that each Litre comes with its own roller. Things to watch for: Dries very quickly, particularly in summer sun. Keep a wet edge. Apply in very small areas (like 1 or 2 sq. ft) and remove masking tape as soon as desired texture is obtained. Otherwise, masking tape will be trapped by dry edge and tear in tiny strips. A helper is nice, but not required. Planning is essential. Mask areas that you don't want covered....roller splatters a lot. Keep a wet rag close to wipe up spills or splatters. Drys to a flat sheen. The no-gloss is nice for reducing glare but it gets dirty really quickly (white) and is a bit difficult to keep clean; a small price to pay for the benefit.

The product works but the roller can be tricky to use to get the desired height, it also clogged easily. The main complaint is that the grey is very light in color and stains / shows marks really easily.
