Since I was painting the (wood) back porch, thought I'd paint the (Trex) si de steps to match. (Yes, the Trex is several years old, so that wasn't a pr oblem).
Terrible idea!
After scrubbing and rinsing the steps and letting them dry, I applied BM ac rylic. Or rather TRIED to apply. Never saw such a miserable surface. Str eaks and iffy coverage. Used a lot of time and a lot of expensive paint. Second coat helped only a little. Still streaks, etc.
After the fact, went on-line. Trex only approves 2 coverage, both stains. But other sites don't specifically say don't use paint.
Wish I'd left the Trex alone; it was an unobtrusive pinkish beige-ish color
Was this a unique experience? What, if anything, did I do wrong?
TIA
