Anyone ever painted a wood workbench? I would like to paint the one in the boat with something tough and nonslip, its a wood top.

no i want something rubbery if i can get it, like rhinolining type stuff, but i don't think that stuff sticks to wood does it?

It does. The real rhino lining needs to be sprayed, but theres brushable versions available. Adhering to wood should be no problem at all.

I moved the one that came with my first house. The engineer who built it did a pretty nice job. Thing is about 50 years old. It was a funny green color and my wife made me paint it. I used what I had, which was interior latex house paint. Naturally, it's wearing off in the "high traffic" areas, but it looked good for a few years. I guess it's due for another coat.



I think anything will stick to wood.

I dont think we have that stuff here.



I don't mind spraying mazdaspeed, the only thing is I don't think I can buy the actual rhino lining, I gotta find out if there is someone who sells a decent bedliner I guess.

if the bench is portable take it to a place that does it, you can also try durabak, its a rubberized antislip coating for boats.



or add antiskid particles to the gelcoat

No it's not portable it's built in. The only thing with the gelcoat and anti skid is it won't really be rubbery. I have to try find some durabak

you can get rubbery by putting one of those mats like they put in tool boxes or on shelfs
