You can not paint the starboard!! Nothing will stick to it!!
It comes in a few colors and you should look for the color you need.
I am not sure if you can get Seaboard in your area?? But if you can it comes in a lpt more colors then Starboard and is 1/2 the price!
I painted my deck with light gray Duraback and I made the covers from white 3/4 Seaboard. The reason for this is that I bought a full sheet of 3/4 white for the front Bulkheads and I used the left over for the covers.
Worked out great and they are not slippery at all !

you will notice that all the wood in the rear and side tank covers are all now 1/4 Starboard also!! Makes great for the clean up at the end of the day!!
