I am in the planning stage of refinish my deck. Sailboat, 30 plus feet.

The deck is the original non skid. Ok shape after 30 years.

I checked with Interlux. They sell a one part paint for non skid. I like
that because two part paints are so weather conditional and I
am doing the work in the spring.

Now for the question .. the primer. Interlux sells a two part primer which
seems very sweet. It is an epoxy primer.

The write-up says it will get into the little cracks, etc and that would be
good. But will it be compatible with the one part finish?

And is it worth while using a two part paint with a one part finish?

Interlux also has a one part primer that seems good.

Any deck experts out there?

For a deck, i think that the two-part LPU paints have two advantages over
conventional paints. First. they weather much better and will last longer
before needing a re-paint. Second, being of a thinner consistency, they
allow the nonskid grit to stand a bit prouder of the surface and offer
better grip. Some of the makers, like Awlgrip, offer a variety of
activators and solvents that allow adapting to varying weather conditions.
