I am (STILL!!) working on repainting my concrete porch (approx 10x10 + 2

steps).

Scraping off decades of paint is a bitch. Earlier layers oil-based; later

ones water-based (California banned oil-based). Uneven wearing. Spots that

look like beaches on a lake...various depths.



In past years I used SOMETHING ???? to fill in that did not wear well.



Paint store heard my sad story & said Bondo could be used to fill in low

spots.



Bondo possible?



TIA

Cover it with Trex. Future problems solved. WW

I LOVE Trex, but never thought of applying it over concrete. Do you know of situations where this has been done? Does it require a "bed" to "nestle" in?
If so, what is advised? What about the steps, risers and treads?

Also: Around the E. and S. sides of the porch, the concrete was evidently poured at a slight angle -- perhaps to facilitate rain runoff?
These areas are about 14" wide, and run the length of the E & S walls - 10' ea.
One would have to cut the Trex separately and butt it into the flat layers, yes?

My Trex front porch is built over the original concrete "stoop", and
extended beyond. Where it is built over the concrete I ran some HDPE
strips over the concrete, and fastened the trex over that.
