J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum The Boat, Sails and Equipment Deck paint matching the gray somewhat

So OK ... I have spent the last few years trying to figure out what to do with the slip deck on a 25 year old J30.

Naturally you go to West Marine and they have no samples of anything to see what all these paints are about. And the sales guys making $10 an hour ... are no help.

So following the advice of a few of yous ... i bought a Qt of White and a Qt of Gray Interdeck. Because I need to do two decks and one is in Naples they had to be the same shade and a shade that works well in 90+ degree sunshine ... But white was out.

Photo below shows white sample, gray sample and a 1-1, 2-1 and 3-1 mix. I think the Vee Jays are going to the 3-1 mix ... Ignore the flat black ... that was just on the old stick.

Two coats with additional non skid compound from the shrouds forward because Inderdeck doesn't seem to be agressive enough for a wet J30 foredeck.
