General aviation pilot reported the yellow runway turnoff lines at some points along dvt runway 25L/07R were improperly painted with the reflective beads being added post-painting. This results in slippery conditions and ineffective braking.

Narrative:
The runway paint on dvt runway 25L/07R has yellow turn off lines near the center line in multiple places and the painter did not include the glass reflective beads in the original paint but was required to include the glass beads as a post paint event. Result the glass beads sit on top of the paint and cause an excessively slick footprint and on landing stop the braking is ineffective on the wheel that is on the beads with directional control issues. Therefore stopping and directional control is compromised. If I had reverse thrust I would not care but this becomes a safety issue for me. Again; the problem is that the application of the glass beads was accomplished in a non-standard procedure.
