In reply to Manda Wolf.

Hi Manda, I would actually suggest stripping the stain rather than trying to paint or stain over it, since it can be hard to get a finish to look the way you want or to hold the way you want if you’re working on any already stained surface. Here’s a post about how we stripped our current deck before restaining it. And I think gray would be a great color scheme – maybe something that’s similar to your roof?

My front deck right now has one coat of red stain on it and I hate it. I would really like to do this and I was thinking maybe two colors or gray. Any idea how that would cover the red stain? We have green siding and a red front door which I love but the red deck makes me think my house is screaming “CHRISTMAS!” all day long. So if you could possible spare the time just a quick suggestion on colors (or color scheme) and any idea how hard it would be to cover the red stain would be sooooo soooo sooo helpful.

Here is a picture of the deck before we stained it red if that helps:

In reply to Lorraine.

Yup, that sounds perfect. Just make sure it’s exterior porch/floor paint.

There are still patches of old paint. We sanded them flat. Can I use an oil primer over this and follow it with a regular latex paint?
