PYI Inc Paint Parts & Accessories: Marine-Grade Coatings Built for the Water
PYI Inc has been a trusted name in marine equipment since 1981, and their presence in the Paint Parts & Accessories category reflects the same commitment to innovation and quality that defines their broader product lineup. While PYI Inc is widely recognized for propellers, shaft couplings, and steering systems, their signature contribution to the paint and coatings world — KiwiGrip — has earned a devoted following among sailors, yacht owners, and marine professionals alike.
KiwiGrip: A Different Approach to Non-Skid Coatings
Most non-skid deck coatings rely on aggregate fillers like sand, walnut shells, rubber fleck, or polymer beads to create traction. KiwiGrip takes a fundamentally different approach. As a homogeneous acrylic polymer coating, it delivers high traction without any fillers — meaning the surface won't wear unevenly, the grit won't fall out over time, and the deck won't become difficult to clean or re-coat after seasons of heavy use.
Applied using PYI Inc's proprietary roller, KiwiGrip allows the user to dial in their desired texture directly during application. By varying the roller technique, the finish can range from a subtle, refined pleasure-boat texture to an aggressively grippy work-boat surface — all from the same product. This flexibility makes it equally at home on a weekend cruiser or a hard-working commercial vessel.
Water-Based Formula and Versatile Substrate Compatibility
KiwiGrip is a water-based coating, making application and cleanup straightforward without the need for harsh solvents. It adheres to a wide range of substrates — including wood, fiberglass, aluminum, epoxy, and concrete — which means it isn't limited to marine use. Boaters, homeowners, and industrial users have all found practical applications for the product. It is available in white, cream, gray, blue, and black, and can also be custom tinted to match specific color requirements.
Accessories Designed for the Best Results
To get the most out of KiwiGrip, PYI Inc offers a complete set of application accessories, including the dedicated KiwiGrip roller and roller handle. These purpose-built tools work in tandem with the coating's formula to achieve consistent, repeatable texture across the entire surface. Using the correct roller is key to achieving KiwiGrip's signature finish — generic rollers simply won't deliver the same results.
Why PYI Inc Stands Out in Paint Parts & Accessories
PYI Inc's approach to paint and coatings mirrors their philosophy across all product categories: identify a genuine engineering problem, develop a purpose-built solution, and support it with knowledgeable customer service. KiwiGrip isn't a commodity product — it's the result of rethinking what a marine non-skid coating should be. For boaters who want a deck surface that stays safe, looks great, and is easy to maintain season after season, PYI Inc's paint accessories offer a compelling, proven option.
