Does anyone have a painted plywood floor in your boat? What type of paint did you use? How has it help up? Is it too hot to step on in the summer? Thanks.
That would depend on the look you are after. If you use stainless Steel it will look nice for a long time otherwise the hardware will rust and look bad. If you don't paint over them, they might get a little hot to the touch in the middle of the day during the summer's blazing sun.[url=https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=320729#p320729 said:Ernest T.

I assume Home Depot will have the non slip granules? If I screw the floor down(with finish washers), should I do that first and then paint the final coat(painting over the screws)? Or should I paint the final coat first, then screw it down after with finish washers?

When I was working for a painter, when we would use a little sand in the paint to give it a grip. Not a ton, just enough to make it rough. Maybe a way for you to save a few bucks
