KILZ Over Armor Wood & Concrete Solid Coating Resurfacer, Exterior, Textured, Slate Gray, 1 Gallon

This product does what it says and more. I used it on an old deck behind my house. I didn't want to pay the high price to replace the deck because wood is too expensive these days. So I decided to do what my father had taught me years ago. If you want to make it sturdy again you just need filler. So he would buy those cans filled with the foam that expands and he would spray it between the cracks of the boards where the planks on top were nailed to the board under the deck. Then after a few days to make sure it was dry, used one of those ha ha, I guess it was called a ginsue knife ( SP ) and lay it flat on the boards where the foam was sticking up and just sliced each piece that was sticking up so the deck looked even and flat. Then he would paint it and it looked very nice. But he didn't have this Kilz paint. I bought an 5 foot extension handle for my roller so I could stand up while painting the deck. One thing I did not expect was a paint so thick that it would be hard to roll on the deck. But I found that if I sprayed a little water from a water bottle on to the paint while it was sitting in the paint pan it became very nice and it would stick on the roller and make the job go much easier. Only took me about two hours to roll the deck and it did come out great. The paint filled in many of the cracks in the old deck boards making it look really good. I still have two gals left and it says it is good for concrete too so I am thinking I will do the floor of my garage to see what that looks like. Have fun painting.

This product is the best I have found to restore composite decking! It hides flaws and adheres really well. It dries fast and needs little prep. I have just pre -sanded the boards , brushed off the dust and painted them with a low nap roller. I then use a clean paint brush to lightly brush over the boards to make them appear more like wood again. I don't yet know the longevity of the product but it so far seems like it's going to last quite a while compared to the latex paint that was on the boards. Shipping was super fast also.
