I've painted mine 3 times & it needs it again. have todo it about every 3 to 4 years. first time i used glidden porch paint. and it worked ok for the first year or two then failed rapidly. next time i used petit bright side polyurethane. it did not last at all, maybe one year and then began to peel off. next time i went back to the porch paint and its on its fourth year. skools (i think) said he has used garage floor paint with good results.

the secret to good paint is good prep. i think the petit failed because i did s sloppy job in sanding and cleaning the old surface. durabak is good stuff, but i think it is a little to aggressive for bare feet and i've heard it holds heat.
