What paint have people had the best results with? We used West Marine last time and were not satisfied.....color wasn't uniform and became streaky gray looking.

Sail,

I looked into Top Secret when I did my deck a few years back. The bio said that the company paints were used on naval vessels & shipping vessels & had recently started to sell to the public.

It's a two part epoxy paint that also has etching & thinner items as well. I ordered my stuff from their web site at a fair price. As with any two part paint, it has to be done right for a good job from prep to finish.

Here's how my painting turned out, they have a list of colors to chose from. So far, it's been bullet proof.

The price of the paint while expensive is inconsequential ;) compared the amount OF YOUR labor :eek:
