Outdoor decks take a lot of abuse from weather and the natural elements and require a high quality paint or stain to protect the wood. Decks require regular maintenance and are usually painted or stained every three to four years.Staining a deck emphasizes the natural grain of the wood.utdoor decks take a lot of abuse from weather and the natural elements and require a high quality paint or stain to protect the wood.

Best Primer & Paint For Porch Railings ? Hi Guys: I need to repaint some white exterior porch railings. The substrate is definitely pressure treated, and I think pine(?) that was painted about 4-5 years ago with Behr DeckPlus Solid Color (white) Deck, Fence & Siding woodstain (100% Acrylic latex). This is the only coating that has been applied. It is now peeling in spots. I think it would be very difficult to completely strip, so I'm thinking I will wash, scrape/sand and then apply new primer and paint (white), preferring to use the best possible combination of the two. This is in SW Missouri, i.e. relatively high humidity and the railings are exposed to sun mostly all day.
