KiwiGrip Non-Skid Deck Paint

KiwiGrip Non-Skid Deck Paint Overview

KiwiGrip is a revolutionary, durable, non-skid coating that spreads quickly and easily with our proprietary roller, offering a beautiful, high traction surface. By varying the application technique, the texture can be adjusted from a rolled "pleasure boat" texture to an industrial aggressive "work boat" texture. As a homogeneous material KiwiGrip doesn't suffer from the problems encountered with products filled with sand, walnut shells, beads, rubber fleck, or other fillers. Coatings with fillers tend to wear through, and the fillers fall out leaving an unsafe deck that's hard to clean and even harder to re-coat.

Coverage

A 1 liter can of KiwiGrip will cover about 20 square feet. A 4 liter can will cover about 80 square feet.

Colour Options

Loaded with a UV stabilizer for consistent color. Available in five standard colours.

Durable

KiwiGrip is a very hard acrylic polymer providing a durable, homogeneous, elastic surface. KiwiGrip will not wear through and expose filler materials.

Perfect Texture

Apply over wood, fiberglass, epoxy, concrete or metal and dial in the perfect texture for your application by varying your technique.

Non-Toxic

No volatile solvents, very low VOC. Cleans up with soap and water.

Always apply KiwiGrip over a sealed surface to prevent water and co-solvents from absorbing into the substrate. Avoid solvents like acetone, MEK, paint thinners, etc.

Old Gel-coat - Scrub old gel-coat with a stiff scotch pad or stainless wire brush and a good degreasing soap to remove oxidation, dirt and oil. A de-waxing agent is required if the surface has been waxed within 5 years.

Fresh polyester or epoxy fiberglass - If the polyester includes wax this must be completely washed away with a de-waxing agent. Then sand well with 60-100 grit sand paper. Wash well with degreasing soap and water.

Aluminum or steel - Metals require a primer to protect the underlying metal from rust or corrosion. KiwiGrip is compatible with all primers. Apply primer per manufacturer's instructions. KiwiGrip will tie-coat to epoxy primers. To tie-coat, apply KiwiGrip over the epoxy when the epoxy is beyond tacky but not yet hard. (Test: walk with stocking feet on epoxy. The epoxy is perfect when it tries to take the socks off your feet but releases them before pulling the epoxy off the deck). Unless tie-coating, sand primer lightly with 100-200 grit sand paper. Wipe up dust 3 times with damp rags.

Wood - Wood needs a coat of paint or sealer to prevent water and co-solvents from absorbing into wood. Any paint or non-silicone primer is fine. When dry, sand paint, primer, or sealer lightly to remove any gloss. 100-220 grit is fine. Damp rag wipe 3 times to remove all dust.

Concrete - Concrete must be fully cured and sealed with any non-silicone sealer. Follow with a good soap and water scrub. Allow to dry.

For the best finished results we recommend applying KiwiGrip with the  KiwiGrip 4" Deluxe 'Goopy Loopy' Roller. The paint comes complete with one 4" 'Loopy Goopy' roller cover included with each kit (roller cage not included)
