Optimal anti-slip paint?

A slightly different approach: Mask the areas where non-skid is not
desired. These areas will provide good drainage. Apply a light coat of
paint and while still tacky, sift or sprinkle silicon carbide granules over
the painted areas. When dry, remove the masking tape and paint over
everything. Surprisingly, the paint doesn't wear off the granules very
rapidly.

Commercial additives are pumice.

I would not use silica/quartz sand. It is a very hard mineral, and will
damage whatever it sheds on to. Pumice is very soft and doesn't do that.
