Toughest hard wearing exterior paint?

Aug 11, 2013 2 Replies

A polyurethane "porch and deck" paint would be a logical choice.

Glidden makes one, Home Depot carries it, I use it...shop floor, steel French doors opening to screen porch and lanai...a counter top on the screen porch...any place where I want a hard, durable surface. The colors available are limited. I use white which yellows a bit after a couple of years but not so much that I mind it. Green mold will grow on it too if it is where it is frequently damp; if so, add some mildewcide.

Hi, Maybe wishful thinking but what are you using? Time to paint porch deck and railing again. Any suggestions? TIA,


Using solid stain. Steer clear of Cabots, absolutely the worst in the industry IMO. Applied BM's Arborcoat solid almost a year ago, so don't know what the long term durability is, yet. Cabot's started peeling on all the flat surfaces within a month. What of waste of $600.00!
