Slippery Ramp Door!

[judelaurenzo25g]

I currently own a 2018 Eclipse Attitude 28SAG. On my year model the axles came flipped from the factory and they eliminated the interior wheel well. This made my ramp very steep. They have coated my ramp with a texture they call "Rhino Liner", no way in hell this is the same rhino liner that's in my truck. It's textured but slippery, it's plastic like. So slippery my cousin slipped on the ramp and broke his tibula and fibula. I thought about grip tape but it will likely not stick since the ramp is a textured like plastic.

What have you done to your ramp door to add grip?

Thanks in advance,
JL

Try Non skid, like the stuff they use for boats.

I wonder if it will peel right off since the ramp is coated in a textured like plastic.

I think if you use the right primer to etch the surface without destroying it, it will hold. Alternatively, you could use a cup brush or other brush in your drill or angle grinder to scuff the existing textured surface prior to using a paint prep to remove any oils from the surface. Prep is always key.

This would work if I didn't use my ramp as a patio deck.

OMG, my phone sucks so bad for trying to post pics via link or insertion, or whatever method. Sorry. If you can't get to this pic, I'll have to correct it on the computer. Meanwhile, it's latex skid resistant floor paint from Walmart.
