Pro's and Cons:
1.Clearcoat - produces the best appearance
metallic finish IMHO. Can be block wet sanded and
then buffed to provide that nice glassy look if you are inclined that way.
Just takes lots of time and effort. Clearcoat not necessary on solid
colors like white.
2.
Wingwalk or non-skid paint. Neither. Buy one of those textured
rubber drawer liners probably available at Home Depot (non skid
stuff) in the color of your choice, put it out when you open the door, and
when you climb in, pick it up, roll it up, and put it behind your heels
in front of the spar box for easy retrieval when you shut down. Works
great (as long as you do not forget it). My early versions tended to
blow off on windy days, so my wife sewed ½ to 3/4 inch tubes of fabric filled
with some ballast (sand works find) into the ends to keep it put. Works
great.
