This is a water slide shown he

http://igor.chudov.com/projects/Water-Slide-2.0/

The wood part is made of 2x4s.

My objective is to paint it with some paint that would be:

1) Non-slippery for wet feet
2) Would last for 4 years
3) I would prefer a bright, opaque paint. (ie, not stain)

I would prefer something that is available at Home Depot.

Epoxy paint with fine sand sprinkled on before drying for traction.

I can't imagine what they would have at HD that would work. They
aren't a specialty store.

I would try your local Sherwin Williams commercial/industrial coatings
store. IF you get the right rep, they can find a product for just
about everything.

It seems like you would be moving into the pool/tank coatings area.
Those products would provide water proofing, UV protection (opaque)
for your wood and an exterior rating that would take into effect
constant exposure to water.

It would also need a UV inhibitor, I would think.

That is (IMO) a bad choice. Instead of giving a non-slippery surface, you
end up with a surface that you slip on and then it removes skin (like
sandpaper!) If you can find it, look for a product called "Skid-No-More".
It should be available at boating stores or pool stores.

You should be able to find it locally. I painted a basement bathroom floor
with it 15 years ago and it is still going strong. If the slide is
outdoors, I'd expect about 5 years before needing to recoat. It can be
tinted (with any latex tint) and even mixed with most latex paints. From
that picture, it looks like a quart would do several coats.

Veranda or one of the plastic woods. No splinters
and keeps the color. Home Depot
It has surface ridges for gripping the feet.

I bought a roll of glue down grip and go paper designed for such things as
this. I use it on the steps up my porch. Originally I was afraid to paint
it, but gave in and put a coat of porch paint on it. Still has lots of grip,
doesn't sand off my skin, and provides tremendous anti-slip.

As far as the paint goes, why not look into stains, I know they can brighten
them up allot. My neighbor did his kids play fort with stains and his is
bright yellow and red.
