Repair and repaint deck on my cd 27

Post by dougw »

Starting stripping deck to repair and repaint. The question I have is regarding the factory non skid bumps. I would like to preserve them and was wondering how to get the paint off without sanding them down. I have some environmentally safe paint rep over ( Citric from Home Depoptr) that I will be trying.

The previous owner had painted the entire deck including these non skid panels.

Work to be completed is repairing any stress cracks and repainting entire deck

Many thanks

I think you will have a hard time preserving these. Kiwi Grip works very well and you probably don't even need to strip the old paint if it's adhering pretty well.
