Hi Bob, I just had my decks painted this year. They painted each part separately. Stripped and sanded everything down. Then masked off the non skid areas to prime and finish the smooth areas before masking off the newly finished areas and addressing the non skid. I think they felt adhesion would be better for each area to have a good base to prime and then the finish to go right on the primer. I'm sure cost was part of it too. Why pay for a finished coat you'd just have to sand, again, and paint over anyway? Good paint ain't cheap and the extra labor to sand a nice new fished paint job is not very efficient.

Or is the deck painted completely with one paint, taped off and non-skid painted using a different paint?

I’ll probably put on another coat of Kiwi.

OTOH, the non-non skid needs some serious work! However there is so little of it, it’s almost like ‘trim’ and taping it off would be time and money consuming if done by a yard. I am considering having it done by someone without taping all the non-skid off and using a high quality paint, single or 2 part paint and a brush. Is this likely to work for a decent 10 ft look or is it likely to be a disaster? Any recommendations on 1 or 2 part paints, manufacturers, etc. Charlie Nelson Water Phantom 1995 C&C 36 XL/kcb Sent from the all new Aol app for iOS Thanks to all of the subscribers that contributed to the list to help with the costs involved.
