I think you could do it your self, Hardest thing to do is get the non-skid even. I have rolled non skid with particles pre mixed in and I have sprinkled it on top out of a shaker can then rolled over it. The sprinkle can method seems to help make it more even and you can go back and hit thin spots. Far as spraying it I haven't never tried to spray non skid grit threw a gun. I would think you could spray the base down and then add non skid additive on top in areas you wanted it. Then spray a second thin coat to lock it in maybe. Not to sure about spraying non skid tho. Hopefully someone up here that has sprayed it before can give you more insight on best practices. I do know that getting good tape to mask off the edges makes a big difference. I have used cheep tape due to it was the only thing I could find in the width I wanted and it had bad bleed threw at the edges. Don't skimp on the tape...
I ended up going with medium to light grey on my deck in my 20 over the original raised planks. When it was in the sun sitting in the yard it gets hot to the bear feet but when on the water it never bothers me. Don't know if the wind or spray keeps the temps down when in use or what but the only time mine bothers me is after its sat in direct sunlight all day sitting still not moving. Now is the time to get it how you want it not latter. I do know a little darker makes a big difference as my gas tank cover is slightly darker than the rest of the floor due to it was mixed latter on and it gets warmer than the rest. I never stand on the fuel tank cover but have noticed a big difference when I have between the two. So going a lot lighter will make a big difference I imagine.
Boat is looking real good by the way. She is going to be sweet once you get it how you like it.
