Default Painting a deck


wrote in message
ups.com...
I am going to repaint an outdoor deck. Do I need any special kind of
paint for a surface that people walk over? I had planned to just
scrape it, then put down a coat of Zinzer 123 primer, then a coat of
exterior latex, but am not sure if that will work for foot traffic.


Latex paint won't hold up well on a deck. Are you sure it is not a solid
stain on it now?

Stains do not need a primer and there are some formulated just for decks.
