Have primed everything with:

What I find interesting that it is oil based and still
available here in SoCal.

If this were 30 years ago, I'd get some gray oil
based porch and floor enamel and give it a finish
coat, but that was then and this is now.

What is a good porch and floor paint today.

This will be exposed to SoCal sun year around.

pickup bed liner - spray or brush.

I used floor paint on my trailer bed (plywood) five or six years
ago.
It's peeling off now.

But that's Texas sun...

So how long has the pickup bed liner been installed or
are you just suggesting it?

Just suggesting at this time, Lew.
The paint is loose and flaking off.
When I can I'll strip the rest off and
spray with bedliner stuff.

It seems to last well on truck beds anyway.

You got my interest, so decided to check it out.

Here in SoCal, a quart of material is $44 including
sales tax.

A quart will provide enough for two (2) coats which
is recommended.

At this point have less than $25 invested in the project.

Must as I'm interested, just can't justify a $44 additional
cost to get a painted ramp.

Maybe I'll just sit on the project for a while.
