I had some sort of rubber material on my wing walk which is coming off. I stripped
it off and now I need to put some kind material on it and make it non-skid.
I am thinking of having it sprayed with pickup bed lining material. Has anyone
done this ? What other options are there? Thanks in advance.

Rich, I did the exact same thing. I used Line-X!! My local guys did a great
job. It looks great, is durable and works!

There is a brush on wing walk compound available from Spruce, in
quarts. Easy to brush on and touch up when necessary.

I had my wing walk sprayed with Bed Liner material, looks great but
beware . When you wash the plane the wing walk will be slick.

Guys,
The reinforcement directly underneath the wing walk area is greatly lacking
and many aircraft wing walks are "spongy" and in need of help especially up
towards the leading edge. Rather you use the stock tread, bed liner, or
whatever you should first overlay the area with a piece of .050 7075-T6.
You might be wise to apply your non skid to this reinforcement, then attach
the reinforcement to the aircraft. This will make future "re-coating"
easier and you won't have to worry about messing up your paint job or
worrying about the coating sticking to the oil soaked rivet heads and skin
laps.
The stock wing walk "tread" is available and in stock.
Best from Omak,
Doug

The original wing walk (CJ6/6A) is made from dead soft aluminum (likely
1100 series). Junk it and follow Doug=99s advice.
Doug=99s choice of material is quite interesting since the 7000
series alloys are the strongest aerospace al. alloys available.
That=99s great but as a result they are also very susceptible to
corrosion and require proper preparation and of course are by far the
most expensive. 2024 T3 would also be a great choice but not cheap.
6061 T6 is quite adequate strengthwise (and corrosion resistance is
better), in either .050=9D or .063=9D. With the thinner
one I recommend retaining the 1 mm doubler under the leading edge of the
original wing walk.
Regardless of the material choice it really is necessary to roll the
leading edge to conform to the wing curvature.
The Randolph wing walk compound is excellent and is the only one I use
for this purpose. Preparation is exactly the same as painting the
aircraft no matter what you use if you expect it to stay on. Clean,
etch, conversion coat and high quality primer.

Forgot to mention: Use a new soft roller to apply the wingwalk, not a
brush.

Buy the clear film from Aircraft Spruce. It is not slick when wet.
