I recently painted our 1976 mk lll (hull) with awl grip----rolled and tipped---turned out great. Decided to use interthane (2 part by interlux) for deck and cabin top. Knowing full well that there is no such thing as a "pure white" boat---I went ahead with white as it makes future touch ups much easier on high traffic areas. Rolling and tipping around all those fittings is difficult at best--but I furnished my wife with all the high quality 3M tape she could possibly need---plus the best foam rollers and brushes. She complained a bit about the S Florida heat-----but I was more than attentive in supplying frosty Cokes. I figured she could get the job done in a day----but she probably got bogged down with all my shoreside advice about "more prep more prep more prep--go to 180 grit---etc etc"----so it took her two days---not bad since we have a 4 hour window in Fl----dew goes away at 10 am-----rain starts at 2 pm (summers only).
She did a fine job------I even told her so. After she pulled the tape I left my air conditioned office (we own a marina) for final inspection. It was WHITE. She kept going on about how cool the deck was---no problem on the hands, knees or feet---albeit the hardware was 180 deg's.
I suggested we might "tone down" the WHITE with some deck trim that was kinder to my recent cataract surgery-----she muttered something about---"paint the ###### thing yourself"----
So here I am guys (and ladies)----anybody have some ideas about two-toning the deck? Photos would be appreciated----e-mail removed or reply here.
Thanks---Dave Tinder

Consider painting the areas without non-skid (including cabin sides) your secondary colour. Most boats that I have seen with a 2-tone deck take this approach.
