grip coating for side steps?
anyone know of any type of grip coating that can be applied to the plastic step pads on side steps? been raining a bunch here lately, and i slipped off the side steps several times yesterday, and busted up my shin pretty good.

i would buy sticky-back grip tape like what you put on the surface of a skateboard. Can get it any local skate shops or order it off the internet.

Something like this would work for your application. only about $5.00 for an 8.5"x33" sheet that can be cut to size for you. Similar to like an 80-100 grit sandpaper and can get in a number of different colors or styles. Simple yet effective solution. Ive used it before for many non-skateboard related things...such as outdoor porch steps
