I've done several "rolled" nonskid applications but with gelcoat and colloidal silica, not paint. I used a honeycomb style roller.
Here's a link to the sea hood on a J35 I did a few years ago: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1VvxtG8SaC6xeuhRuR9bE8rCrVJst6O87 Four pieces of advice. 1. practice on a scrap of wood or similar. 2. when you apply, roll in ONE direction only. Do NOT roll back and forth. 3. double tape. That is, use two thicknesses of tape. 4. Pull the tape when the paint is just set, not completely dry. And pull away from the nonskid at angle. Don't pull straight up or towards the inside. Dennis C.
