On 6/3/20,sanded taped and gel coated the port side deck on my 28' Carver.Today 6/5,did the other side.Used a 3" high nap roller that left the surface with a little texture that isn't slippery. Looks so much better.Also had to fix GPS/depth finder.Tracked it down to a ground wire that needed a new end on the buss bar.

I kinda like that 2 tone look. Probably really helps when accessing at night. The contrast would be easy to see. 8-) er
