Deck paint?

I'm sure it has its place but overall I'm not a big fan of deck paint. I prefer stain/sealer. The reason is because paint tends to start to flake off after a while. The other thing is once you paint it the first time you can't go back to stain/sealer. I've had good luck with sikkens cetol products.

Agree with Blue, once you paint a deck, your always going to have a deck to paint. I should know, I painted mine about 15-20 years ago and usually do it about every 4 years. Needs it now.

First time I used Petit topside one part, not very good results
Next time, a Rusteoulem 2 part, decent results
Last time , Glidden Porch Enamel, cheap and good results

Next time, I m thinking of Total Boat 1 part Deck paint

Good thing about doing the deck of the V20 is you can pull the fish box cover and fuel tank cover. Set them on sawhorses and work them at a comfortable level. Then you can use the tank and the fishbox as a place to paint the rest of the deck from

Honest to God I thought you were talking about painting the deck on a house. ROLMFAO!

Maybe he is, Blue. Maybe I am on the wrong track

I was wondering how you stained gelcoat.
