Deck Pictures

Does anyone have pictures of grey or white decks with black tubes?

I currently have a black GRP hull, decks, console and tubes. My deck is a little dull/faded. Interdeck paint doesn't come in black so I'd like an idea of what my decks will look like.

Can you paint Interdeck over top of sikaflex? (I've got black sika sealing my grp deck plates)

Thanks for your assistance as always,

Adrian

Hi Adrian
I don't have grey or White decks but I do have a teak flexideck type flooring on mine if that Interests you? I've a 5.8 metre rib and they laid the flooring when I got the boat for a really good price ..anyway let me know, no worries ignite not what you have in mind.. It does look classy though with the black tubes and console! 

It's not dirty, just faded grp (gelcoat). Anything that would bring back the shine (even if temporarily) would make the deck slippery.

I believed that y-10 has a chemical reaction and remove the oxidisation of the gelcoat, restoring in back to ottoman colour, I only done it on my White hull rib with black tubes! I look out photo graph of it.

look for a bombard 5.5 DB on google images.

Never heard of Y-10 so I searched...doesn't look like it will solve my problem (oxidation) I'd love a solution that would wipe on and wipe off!

Easy to apply. Smooth blue gel specifically formulated to remove stubborn, unsightly stains. Harmless to fiberglass gel coats.

Effective against rust stains around engine exhaust ports or other fittings. Not a general cleanser and will not remove discolorations caused by oxidation, paint, tar or grease. Rustproof and shatterproof jar.

Thanks Steve. Looks pretty good. I'm going to try one brush on solution first. It's called
Poliglow. They make a version for decks that contains grit. Hopefully it works.

Sounds indeed like it's what I'm after. I'm guessing it would be pretty slick when wet. Ever add grit to it?
