How to paint the deck
It made me
crappy 
"took too long, eventually needed to be done again"
How I did it: we took off everyboard, flipped it, sanded it, painted it, it wore off, primed it painted again, put it back on, replaced some railings, and the spacers, stripped them and restarted. in the end it looked nicer a year later it needs it again.
Lessons & tips: painted decks are a pain and the paint wears off, if you have the money either make a patio or start with new wood and have a stained wood deck that you upkeep with another layer of watersealant every year.
