I've seen some non-slip paint that says its a latex based paint with rubber particles embedded in it...for use on boat decks, diving boards, etc.
I've also seen a PVC tape.
I'd like to reduce the wear-n-tear on my shoes, but I don't want to try some unproven option either.
So....any success stories?

Have approx 1/8 inch thick rubber sheet of area to cover where both feet reside and have the rubber rolled at the forwrd edge for heal rest so heal dosen't slide forward. Poked 4 holes in the rubber and used Ty-Wraps to hold rubber rolled up. Used six 1/2 inch diameter flat head rivets with a shank of maybe 1/8-3/16 inch diameter and thin fender washer under flat head rivet. Got used to a light aluminum angle for foot security riveted to floor pan when Karting.

I used the skateboard style grip tape, but had it closer to the seat, as I step on it getting in/out... but my heal doesn't rest on it while driving. win/win

I ran out of time before the race this weekend. So, I went with normal grip tape for now. Greg Kimble from the old site, used Krylon clear non-slip paint for multiple years. I'm planning to try that over the summer. I may make a couple samples of bedliner and the krylon on sheet aluminum and see which I like better.

I just recently installed the grip plate from 5xracing. Works great and is non abrasive! Has more of a foamy feel to it. I like it a lot and would recommend this option.

I sprayed mine with a rattle can of truck bed liner. It's not as good as line-x or herculiner, but it does the job. It's also not nearly as abrasive as sand paper type materials.
