Grey roof paint

[Johnnygm7lsi]

Does anybody know what the dark grey matt patch that feels like sandpaper and looks like a dark tinted window from the distance on the roof of a low profile van painted with, that was some mouthful

non slip?

if it feels like sandpaper I would think its a non slip paint such as is used on boats for example Marine & Boat Coatings

I think you are right with the nonslip paint, heres a photo

Many boaters use masonry paint as deck paint, having used it myself it seems to work fine. Just prepare the area, mask it well and usually one coat covers all.

Cheers, the paint finish is ok really, its just that there is a few white marks on it, stains ect, when I try to clean it with a cloth or sponge bits of the sponge n cloth sticks to it, I`ll have a google for masonry paint, Thanks

have you tried with cleaning with a scrubbing brush the ones sold for bath cleaning are not too stiff and abrasive but the bristles do get to places sponges and cloths won't go, I use one all the time for cleaning places like the aluminium trim strips.

Don't forget to have textured or stir some sand into a smooth one if you still want a non slip surface

its to stop the seagulls sliding of at the end of there landing run:lol-049:
i used to put down anti slip coatings and here is what you do ,buy a small bag of j/blast fine or course depending on what amount of grip you require then some epoxy two pack,tape of the bit to do and paint sprinkle with j/blast,next day brush of excess then one more light coat over top to seal,job done.
