I stumbled across this product called Armorpoxy. It's a one part epoxy
paint that is used a bedliner for trucks, garage floor paint, pool
paint, and a whole list of other applications. One factory advised
application is for marine use on fiberglass, wood, steel, aluminum,
etc.

It looks like nice stuff, comes in a host of colors including white,
off white, cream, light grey.

It also has a factory option of a non-skid additive.

It doesn't need to be shot, a roller is preferred.

It has a 10-20 year lifespan, 20-30 if 2 coats are applied.

It costs under $60.00 per gallon, another $7.00 for the non-skid
additive.

It all sounds like a perfect product to put on the deck of my
workboat.

It just sounds too good to be true! Not too many products work this
well in the Marine environment, especially on work boats.

Has anyone had any experience with this stuff?

Sounds pretty interesting; though I am *very* skeptical
of "one part epoxy". In fact, I thought that there was no
such thing and calling them epoxy was just a marketing ploy.

I have used the two part epoxy paints and they don't cost that
much more. They chalk a bit from sunlight but for work surfaces
that doesn't matter too much.

How is this stuff in regards to UV?

Where is it available?
