Worked as advertised. Need to stir it thoroughly scraping bottom of can as the sand settles during storage. Looks great and is durable.

Excellent wing walk paint. Covers very well. Use heavy duty paint paddle to stir. Mix well before and during use. Dries in a day or two well enough to walk on.

The paint was very easy to apply and dried very quickly. And the finished appearance was excellent. There is a small effort involved stirring the paint to achieve and maintain a proper consistency.

More suitable for a non-slip portion of aircraft wings than the rubberized ultra product. Good results with (1) good, firmly applied masking tape, (2) using not one but two paint stir sticks to scrape the grit off the bottom of the can and mix it into the product, and (3) use of a brush slightly smaller than the can.

I have used this product before and it works well. It will make a clean edge when striping tape is used to outline the area.

Superior Product: I applied it to the entire rear bumper (blue) cover of a 2001 Eurovan to match the black swing arm and box/bike carrier. I sanded it with 80 grit paper and applied 2 coats 48 hours apart. The result is perfect in every way. Then I sprayed thin coat of clear satin lacquer to minimize indication of abrasion. Finished, it looks like a black vinyl and one quart cost $45 landed versus $850 to paint the number.

The wing walk compound is ready to use out of the can, but it can be thinned 5 to 1 with Toluene if the application requires it.
It can be used over itself, as long |as the surface is cleaned properly and there is no contamination.
It depends on how thick the coats you use are, but a general guide would be one unthinned gallon covers approximately 150 square feet with one coat.
It can be applied at any temperature. The vapors will hang around and stink up the place when the temperature is below 65 degrees F and the lower the temperature the longer it takes to dry. 65-90 degrees F is optimum.
To clean and prep a pre-existing walk compound you will just need to dust it off and clean with soap and water. If you wanted to remove the walk compound, you will then need to heat it up and physically scrape it off.
Primer would be best, but not required.
It is oil based so it is pretty waterproof when dry.
Yes, the shelf life is two years from the date of manufacture.
Per the Ceconite How To Manual, it dries overnight, can be walked on after 24 hours, but suggests using caution the first week, it will be a little tacky.
Per Randolph: For best results, apply in a controlled environment.
