on the nose of my ski boat I used some clear antislip tape meant for showers and bathrooms. it works but attracts dirt and sunscreen oils etc so it has some discolored spots. there are other antiskid tapes meant for industrial use etc that would probably come in clear or possibly something that comes close to your chosen body color? there is also the stick on stuff that is used in fishing boats etc and looks textured like box liner. gator skin maybe? I looked at it but went with the clear tape for bathrooms. possibly not my best choice but it works to keep the grandkids from slipping off.
