Deck Pictures

[Screaming04]

Does anyone have pictures of grey or white decks with black tubes?

I currently have a black GRP hull, decks, console and tubes. My deck is a little dull/faded. Interdeck paint doesn't come in black so I'd like an idea of what my decks will look like.

Can you paint Interdeck over top of sikaflex? (I've got black sika sealing my grp deck plates)

Thanks for your assistance as always,

Adrian

Hi Adrian
I don't have grey or White decks but I do have a teak flexideck type flooring on mine if that Interests you? I've a 5.8 metre rib and they laid the flooring when I got the boat for a really good price ..anyway let me know, no worries ignite not what you have in mind.. It does look classy though with the black tubes and console! 

does Y-10 or FSR type stuff not clean black?

It's not dirty, just faded grp (gelcoat). Anything that would bring back the shine (even if temporarily) would make the deck slippery.

I believed that y-10 has a chemical reaction and remove the oxidisation of the gelcoat, restoring in back to ottoman colour, I only done it on my White hull rib with black tubes! I look out photo graph of it.

look for a bombard 5.5 DB on google images.

Never heard of Y-10 so I searched...doesn't look like it will solve my problem (oxidation) I'd love a solution that would wipe on and wipe off!

Thanks Steve. Looks pretty good. I'm going to try one brush on solution first. It's called
Poliglow. They make a version for decks that contains grit. Hopefully it works.

Sounds indeed like it's what I'm after. I'm guessing it would be pretty slick when wet. Ever add grit to it?

You can buy it from Paynes Marine Supply in Victoria it is quite expensive though...

The Nyalic will bring back the shine & have your decks / whole boat shining like new.
It is magic stuff!
On application the Nyalic has the consistency of water almost, I have applied it with a fine brush & I have found it is better to apply it with a sponge.
I have not used it on a rib deck but where I have used it on topsides & cabins I have not found it to make the area any more slippery that it was pre application. It doesnt leave the treated area slippery as it would be after an application of wax for instance. As for adding grit, I have never tried it but I dont think it would work as Nyalic isnt very sticky / tacky & I cant see it holding grit, though the supplier in Vic. might be better able to advise you.
The product is expensive I was told though I wasnt paying for it myself!
You will find that a little goes a long way & a litre would probably be enough to coat your boat several times.
