Durabak 18 (For Outdoors), TEXTURED version - Non Slip Coating, Bedliner, Deck Paint for ALL Boats - Many colors to choose from! - BLACK - GALLON

This works great as a paint for vehicles regularly off roading. Let alone people always want to touch your vehicle cuz the matte texture just looks cool. Tree branches are always causing scratches in regular paint, not this stuff. Drive right through tight stuff. I even rubbed a full grown tree, albeit kind of lightly in a tightly wooded area. Made a slight dent if you look closely. But didn’t damage the Durabak. The paint actually ground against the tree bark and wore down the tree… not the paint!!!

Awesome product. Have used clear-smooth and gray-textured so far. Both exterior application. Performed just as directions stated and so far I am very pleased. Clear went on wood planters, gray went on a shop floor ramp. Extremely durable, especially with two coats, UV stable without question, and the clear is truly clear. More rubberized than epoxy, but harder than the standard bed liner. Recommend wiping down surface with xylene to prep, seems to help with first coat coverage. Lays down nice. Will buy again. Coverage seems to be as advertised- 60 sq.ft. for two coats

I agree with some of the others, yes it's expensive; however the cost of its effect at a spray shop is minimum; I would suggest using 1/2 cup 'thinner' and mix, mix, mix. good idea to remix after thirty minutes or so after initial mixing.

I bought a quart of this to try it out along with one of their rollers. After applying the quart of light Grey, looked like sour milk, ordered a gallon of dark Grey. Much better color and a gallon is just right for the inside tub of a Jeep. Tried both rolling and brushing. If you have a lot of flat surface the rollers are probably okay. For a Jeep tub I would stick with a brush. Too many nooks to get into and going back and forth between the 2 different application methods was a mess. It does dry fairly quickly. I started in a back corner and went clockwise around the jeep. Used about 2/3 of the gallon on the first pass. Second coat was much quicker and used far less material. Looks fantastic and seems to stick VERY well. I cleaned everything with Scotch Brite, paper towels, and xylene prior to applying. Very pleased with the results.

Went on well. Needed twice what I ordered. Under no wear other that the elements, peeled right off after two years. Prepped surface as recommended.

My parents purchased a hot tub. The fiberglass interior is quite slick and mother slipped and fell every time she tried to climb in or out. I painted this on the step and they are now able to safely get in and out without slipping. It's been about a month so far, and it's still holding.

Gave my floor a nice nonskid finish very nice product

I added an arched metal roof to an Owl Box I received as a gift but didn't like the flat wooden roof it originally possessed. I reasoned a roll-on bed-liner product would make a great coating for the metal. After research, I opted on the Durabak product. I purchased a can and special rollers back in April, but just got around to using it, yesterday, October 19. As stated, the product seems to be of great quality and am pleased with the actual result.However, I am not pleased at all with the can lid. After removing the 4 shipping clips to prevent lid opening during shipping, I used a standard paint can opener tool to pry the lid open (as I have done on countless paint cans in my 60+ years on this earth--with never any trouble). This should have been a simple operation--one that yielded a successfully opening the can.Alas, after moving the opener all around the can in an attempt to open the lid, all I managed to do is peel back the lid flange upwards like it was a can of sardines. And the lid barely lifted only but a little. In short, I destroyed the lid thereby ruining any chance of putting it back on securely. I did finally get it open, but not before deforming both the can seal, and of course, the lid itself. Since I wasn't using an entire can to do a truck bed (only doing the top of a Owl House), there was easily more than half a can left (after the second coat). The rest will likely be wasted due to air infiltration/evaporation.This paint product may be the greatest thing since sliced bread, but if this is the best "packaging" Durabak can muster (in my opinion, the problem lies with either material and/or design of their container--or both), I'd be hard-pressed to purchase the product again.... So long as you don't mind throwing excess product away, I guess I can recommend the product.Only time will tell how good the product actually is, and hopefully, the lid is not an indicator of this....I didn't stop to take pictures during the opening of the can. These pictures are after I was done and tried to hammer the lid back down, so some of the "damage" in these pictures is from me trying to seal the can back up. But, one should be able to see the lid flange failures all along the edge and observe the exact width of the paint lid opening tool imprinted in the (too) thin lid material. In my real opinion, the lid, itself, is made of material that is to thin to deal with the forces involved during opening, and shears as a result--and the point at which it shears is well BEFORE the lid can actually clear the can (i.e., open). I have NEVER seen such happen in my life.In Engineering parlance, their can lid draws an extremely large vacuum. In other words, their lid sucks.
