Recommendations for redoing a fiberglass deck on a center console?

[menhadenman]

I recently bought a used Key Largo 21’ center console that was neglected in uncovered storage for several years. Great engine with low hours so I jumped knowing some TLC was in order.

The deck coating has several cracks and looks pretty tired. It’s structurally sound but I’d like to sharpen it up a bit.

Looks like there’s some good options on Amazon (paint roller type stuff) and I’ll ask the local marina… but know for sure someone here GON have a suggestion.

Thanks for any advice.

I've used, and have good luck with the durabak products.

Thanks @RedHills - looks like I could use the smooth stuff for the console and walls, texture for the floors.

To add...the "no slip" is very no slip! Really to the uncomfortable side with no shoes. They use rubber macerated in the mix. For a floor, I think I would consider mixing a smooth with a no slip to thin it a bit. 1 to 1 would still be plenty no slip. OR....just use smooth.

I've mixed cornmeal in with it to add traction that won't scuff the finish when it comes off after the initial application. Sand in the mix will lead to scratches.
