Any recommendations for painting decking

Hi guys/girls,

I have just laid a decking (approx 10m x5m) and the client has asked about painting the decking with an anti slip "paint"

I have had alook around and the prices seem to vary from £20 per 2.5l to £80 per 2.5lHas anybody had to "paint" decking and what results have you obtained. Any recommendations for paint products and any feedback from clients after a few years?

Stains and oil based waterproofers are not in the frame as the client wants a coloured theme.

Thanks

    I've used Brewers Decorators Merchants in Maidenhead (there are other branches). It was a paint used on canal boats - think it was Bradite though not 100% sure, coloured a custom RAL code grey, with anti-slip sand added for final coat. Three coats, first thinned down. Has been down almost 10 years, and is just starting to need a re-paint. Used in on our front steps and doorway area so fairly heavy use.

    • Thanks Andrew,

      I've just had a look at their website, is this what you bought "SA14 Low Slip Aggregate"

      I must admit have have been looking at marine based products as the market for leisure decking products is pretty thin (in all senses of the word"

    could have been - their special paint chap just added it to the paint as it was being mixed.

    I think marine is the way to go.
