After the fact, went on-line. Trex only approves 2 coverage, both
stains.
But other sites don't specifically say don't use paint.

Wish I'd left the Trex alone; it was an unobtrusive pinkish
beige-ish color

Was this a unique experience? What, if anything, did I do wrong?

What you did wrong was try to paint an unpaintable surface. The
uncoated Trex can be coloured using a penetrating transparent or
semitransparent stain - not too much in the world of "paint" that will
stick to the stuff.


Laughable (old) post. He says he went on line after the fact and says
Trex only approves 2 coatings and then asks what he did wrong. Duh, RTFM


Think it was Oren that posted op's name and I noted it and can't find
any Trex above ground level but saw comical car repair with duct tape.
