Last Spring I used the White KG tinted to an off white (very light grey) by my local hardware store. Gorgeous! But after a season of racing and cruising, it is pretty scuffed up, i.e. permanently dirty. I only needed a a quart and a half for good coverage and aggressive non skid all over the deck, so I have plenty of the gallon left for a redo, but I don't want to make painting the deck another yearly chore. I have used hiking shoes as my deck shoes and will definitely have to revisit that this year.
Three years ago when I bought the boat, I sanded, bleached and masked the toe rails, grab rails etc. I used 3 coats of Natural Teak Cetol, followed by 2 coats of the Cetol High Gloss while the boat was on jack stands, working from a ladder. Gorgeous! I lightly sanded the rails and added another 2 coats of high Gloss this past fall, just for maintenance.
Now I need to learn how to match gel coat to repair a few gouges, complements of Sandy.
