KiwiGrip Non-Skid Deck Coating | Black | 1 Gallon | Rollable Anti-Slip Surface Treatment

Rollable Non-Skid Deck Coating in Black — 1-Gallon Size for Full Deck Applications.

KiwiGrip is a water-based, non-skid deck coating that applies with a roller to create a durable, grippy surface on boat decks, cockpits, and other marine surfaces. The 1-gallon size covers approximately 8 square meters (~80 sq ft) — enough for a full cockpit, swim platform, or large deck area in a single purchase.

Unlike grit-based non-skid products, KiwiGrip's texture is built into the coating itself — so the color and grip are consistent throughout the film and won't wear through to expose filler materials underneath. The texture is adjustable: by varying your roller technique, you can dial in anything from a fine, comfortable grip to an aggressive, high-traction surface.

Packaged in 4 resealable pouches for easy use and storage of leftover product. A 4-inch proprietary roller cover is included.

Parts Desk Insights

The gallon size is the right choice when you're doing a full deck re-coat or covering a large area in a single session. At ~80 sq ft per gallon, it's enough for most cockpit soles, swim platforms, or side decks on boats up to about 35 feet. Black is a bold, high-contrast choice that works particularly well on dark-hulled boats, sportfishing vessels, and center consoles where a professional, aggressive look is preferred. The 4-pouch packaging means you can use one pouch at a time and keep the rest sealed until needed.
