Anti-slip paint

[Ranga]

I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with anti-skid paint. I'm thinking of using it on my chequer plate/tube side steps. I've got some anti-skid stick on tape on the tube, but obviously that won't work for the plate section.

Would it be effective, and how long would it last?

I would suggest you look at marine anti-slip finishes, they have been around for a long time and are effective for many years on boat decks. Probably expensive tho'

Use anygood paint 2 pac would be ideal sprinkle sand over while still wet then overcoat when dry or you can get glass balls that do the same

Leasure marine stuff is to soft rubberised cork for easy on the feet and lines

dont slide across it getting onto and off of things it will shred cloths and flesh if its any good. you did say you were putting on the checker plate on the wings right?

Not sure if its the same stuff as AM is referring to, but in the past I've used a marine product (Epiglass ??) that you mixed with paint, and it expands slightly as it cures. Gave a nice grippy surface in the bottom of sailing dinghy's without being like the sandpaper style of grip tape.
