Deck paint??

postum
17 years ago

Hi there! and I hope you can help me with what is probably a really stupid question.

Our uncovered deck and stairs are painted, but the paint is old and peeling. So I figured I could scrape them down and repaint. I went to Lowe's and got a test quart of "Porch and Floor Paint." Get home, read the can and it says "for stairs, porches, floors. NOT FOR DECKS." My dh calls Lowe's and they say we have to stain. Is this true? This will mean major stripping of a large deck and 12 stairs. Are there any other options?

Thanks so much for your help!!

BTW, the picture on the can shows a DECK. False advertising!!
