depending on how many coats you put on, Id say two qts to do the deck. A bit of advise, plan to spend four to five times longer for prep and sanding than you think. The quality in teh paint job is in the prep moreso than the finish job. Prime the entire area, tape off areas that you want slick and paint them, then come back and tape off the areas that need to be non skid. Yes, it needs to be nonskid. Taking time and doing a nice tape job makes a huge differnce. Roll on a coat of paint in teh nonskid areas, sprinkle sand or non skid over hte wet paint, I make a salt shaker outof a tupperware can to sprinkle the non skid. Let it dry over night and hit it with a wisk broom to knock off the loose, then apply a thin coat of paint over the area, Once its dry, pull your tape up. Havign th econtrast between slick and nonskid turns out nice.
