i painted my alluminum hull with the flat camo paints you buy at advance autoparts and it held up well the first year but i can say that I could have prepped it a lot better, i used bamboo branches as a stencil

i have put sand in sealer when doin stained cement sidewalk at resturants where they need traction , it works ok but the sand is heavy and wants to settle to the bottom of the paint so you need to make sure you are always mixing it. paint stores also sell a product that is a powder that floats in the paint instead of sinking it is made for the non-skid application i would go with this product instead of sand next time i have to do this

1st Alum boat was professionally sprayed with olive drag green rhino 8 years ago for $400 bucks and it still looks like new.

2nd. A company called Deck Liner thats no longer in business I made roll on liners specifically made for boats. It has a softer surface than the rhino liner. I rolled the inside of my 22 ft bay boat with 2 gallons, and really liked it. 2+ years and holding up great.

3rd Deck Liner again on my Sea-Ark; I used 1 gallon.The coating isnt as thick as the 1st boat but I only spent 100 bucks doing it. 1 1/2 year and doing good.

I would try to find a roll on paint specifically made for boats, because it will be softer.

Preperation for Alum Boat.
Pressure wash very well.
Scrub with paint thinner.
Prime, I used a spray can primer.
And apply 2-3 coats of liner.

Very important to lightly coat on 1st coat with liner, it helps it stick much better.

Good Luck.
