When you visited your nearest paint specialty store (not Home Depot, not Lowe's), what did they recommend?
If its a NEW porch soplid color stain is the way to go, paint just peels and becomes a maintence hassle
Whatever you end up using, make suer that it's oil based.
I'd stain it, then put some marine varnish on it.
:I use an good oil baed primer (liker zinser) then use a latex topcoat like, :Benny Moore
Seems interesting. However, I believe there are porch paints, or at least floor paints that are formulated to withstand a lot of foot traffic. Plus you will want a color that will continue to look OK for a while. I figure whatever you use, it won't look as good after a few years. So, the number one issue will be how you deal with the maintenance issues. : :Terry wrote: : :>What did you use?
