My objective is to paint it with some paint that would be:
I would prefer something that is available at Home Depot.
Epoxy paint with fine sand sprinkled on before drying for traction.
I can't imagine what they would have at HD that would work. They aren't a specialty store.
I would try your local Sherwin Williams commercial/industrial coatings store. >>IF
It would also need a UV inhibitor, I would think.

That is (IMO) a bad choice. Instead of giving a non-slippery surface, you end up with a surface that you slip on and then it removes skin (like sandpaper!) If you can find it, look for a product called "Skid-No-More". It should be available at boating stores or pool stores.

Veranda or one of the plastic woods. No splinters and keeps the color. Home Depot It has surface ridges for gripping the feet.

I bought a roll of glue down grip and go paper designed for such things as this. I use it on the steps up my porch. Originally I was afraid to paint it, but gave in and put a coat of porch paint on it. Still has lots of grip, doesn't sand off my skin, and provides tremendous anti-slip.
As far as the paint goes, why not look into stains, I know they can brighten them up allot. My neighbor did his kids play fort with stains and his is bright yellow and red.
