What's the difference between this and Super Duty Deck Paint?
Paints leave a thin surface film. Renew It starts as a solid, becomes liquid during application, then returns to a permanent 1/8" thick solid coating that bonds to the surface — far more durable than any paint.
Is this suitable for northern climates?
Yes! Temperature rated -40°F to 200°F. Extremely flexible — temperature swings have no effect. Tough enough to handle snow shoveling (use plastic or fiberglass-tipped shovels).
Can I apply this to pressure-treated wood?
Yes! Allow wood to age 6-9 months for complete outgassing. Renew It will restore aged, worn treated wood boards.
Can I apply it to Trex / composite decking?
Yes! Age Trex 6-9 months, then prime with Flash Bond Primer. Great for restoring worn Trex and adding non-slip texture.
Can you provide custom colors?
Yes! Order the tint base version, then add up to 10 oz of universal water-based tint to create any custom color.
My deck boards are warped. Can I coat them?
Yes! Roll perpendicular to boards first, then parallel. Use our 4" roller set for easier coverage on warped/cupped boards.
Can I do railings too?
Yes! Use our small area roller or brush for railings and posts. For a smoother finish on verticals, consider our Super Deck Paint in matching colors.
Is it slippery when wet?
No — the opposite! It has a grainy, non-slip finish that feels like very fine emery board. Very comfortable for walking, safe for pool areas, and great for pet paws.
How do I clean it?
Mild liquid soap and garden hose. Simple Green and TSP work best. Bleach solution to remove mold & mildew. Pressure washing is okay for heavy dirt.
Can I coat over brand new wood boards?
Yes, but you must let new wood age 12 months prior to coating. If the wood has a Mil finish, it's best to give the boards a quick light sanding prior to primer application.
