How to paint cedar deck railings with latex paint
Posted on Dec 09, 2008 under Deck Railings | 4 CommentsIf you have cedar deck railings and spindles on your deck, and want to paint them white with semi gloss latex paint then the following is how to go about it.
Pressure wash the Deck Railings, let them dry for several days, then prime and paint with 2 coats of exterior latex paint.
One further idea for a very thorough colour would be a solid color stain. It soaks into the wood more than the latex paint which tends to just sit on the surface of the wood. Painting the wood with a solid color stain will also help the wood resist blistering and will mean it will last longer than paint.
