After a couple years hard use the non skid on steel decks get to smooth for proper traction. Safe footing is a must.
We use interlux perfection a two part polyurethane hard wearing paint.
First clean the area with soap and water to get all dirt off. Then sand with 120 -180 sand paper. Make sure surface is clean of all contaminants in the existing paint. Then clean with interlux cleaning solvent. Tape off the edges and make sure the tape is pushed down hard.
Then prepare the two part paint with the nonskid filler. We went heavy on it as we desire a fairly rough surface. 2 1/4 cups for a 1/4 of a liter or 2 cups per liter. Reduced it with 10% reducer. After induction time (20 minutes) apply with a small roller. Depending on surface area. For larger area use a larger roller. Use a closed foam roller or the epoxy rollers available for these applications. You can use a non expoxy roller but it will fall apart within 10-15 minutes, no problem as long you replace it when it starts to fail. Apply a thin layer and if necessary apply a second coat the next day.
It turned out great.
