Default Trex - horrible to paint

Our Trex deck is 5 years old and is sable brown. We have boards that
are turning white and other boards turning black. What the heck can be
done to get my color back. I have washed it as recommended and in a
few hours it is back. I'm lost as what to do. I've even used the stain
recommended and it comes back right away. Any suggestions? Very
frustrated and tired!


Replace it. Check your local lumber yard or

Thank you for reinforcing my decision NOT to use Trex.

I'm putting out bids for one in the fall. The old Trex was just
polyethylene which the chemist in me said it would not weather and it
didn't. The new Trex has a vinyl surface.

Trex has been out there for years now and I would assume they have
learned not only to use a better polymer surface but also stable colors.

Friends with newer Trex decks are happy with them.
