Blackfriar Anti Slip Floor and Step Safety Paint Mid Grey - 1 Litre

I made a rough wooden ramp for my back door so my dogs with back/leg issues can get in and out. Last year we applied tape to the painted ramp and it came off after a year and therefore need an alternative. I removed the previous tape, cleaned up and applied some of this and it came out amazing, it seems very durable and is super non-slip. I read a review that was posted with some advice on applying and making sure it is mixed properly which was helpful. In general, it is quite thin for oil based (in my limited experience) and obviously the non-slip grit is denser than the paint. So some pointers: 1. Mix thoroughly in the tin until there is minimal grit sitting on the bottom. You can see the grit start appearing in the paint whilst you stir. 2. Once mixed pour as quickly after stopping stirring into your paint kettle/tin. Do not let it sit, it sinks quick to the bottom. 3. Whilst painting from the kettle, keep stirring the bottom up else you will be left with a load of grit at the bottom which is hard to distribute and will never be applied as well as with the paint. 4. I applied it quite thick and slopped as the ramp is no masterpiece.

I wanted this for an anti-slip finish to a wooden wheelchair ramp (7ft x 3ft) in my cousins front garden. Having purchased the paint I read on the tin that I needed to seal the plywood with primer. Primer comes in 5ltr tins and I didn't need that much! I e-mailed Blackfriars who replied very quickly saying that I could dilute some paint with about 10% white spirit and seal it with that - problem solved. After the "primer" the first coat of neat paint went on well and I left it to dry. When I started to apply the second neat coat the grains (sand?) in the paint clumped together like miniature sandbanks so I dipped tip of my brush in white spirit and worked the paint vigorously in all directions. This spread the grains nicely so that is how I carried on, paint on, dip brush tip, and spread. I did stir/mix the paint as directed so don't know what the problem was. However after that I can say that the surface is very good, very "grippy" even when wet, and it has rained almost every day since! It has only been in use for a few weeks so don't know how it will last but there is half a tin left to do another coat or two, hopefully next summer.

Coverage is good but ruined my brushes! It’s truly anti slip but difficult to clean. Lovely colour but paint has started rubbing off (2 coats) so not good in heavy traffic areas Smells divine once dried and not that bad during application.

I used this paint for exterior concrete steps leading into my house.The colour is very good and coordinated well with my painted window sills.It was easy to apply . I kept stirring it all the time to benefit from the non slip quality of the paint.Hopefully it will wear well and last a good while.

Very happy with this paint it did a great job on my step and the finish is excellent and is anti slip as well very easy to apply just make sure what you painting is well cleaned and the result is very good indeed.

Well what can I say? My wife came home to see her nice 'grey' steps and exclaimed "It's blue!" My grandson asked, "Why did you paint your steps blue Pops?" I thought it looked it a bit blue when I started painting but expected it to dry grey. Under the security light at night my steps now look like mini swimming pools. I'm going to have to splash out again on a tin of grey paint. Also if you've ordered this, then apply for a day off work, because that's how long it will take to get it unwrapped. I think the quality of the paint is fine but I have wasted my money as the colour is definitely not what I expected from the description.

It's easy to use (Brush or roller) and covers well with one coat if the surface is smooth. It does need to be stirred periodically while applying as the texture grains can sink. And it really does give a nice non slip finish. It's too soon for me to comment on durability as it's only been down on my deck a couple of months.

difficult paint to apply has a non-slip but nevertheless glossy surface
