Summary: Your paint should be 100% acrylic latex paint matched with a compatible primer if you want superior results. Beware of house paint that is labeled acrylic -- it may have very little. These manufacturers produce the "real" paints.

100 percent Acrylic Latex House Paints and Compatible Primers

Following is a list of 10 manufacturers of 100 percent acrylic exterior house paints. All of them make a compatible primer. These are the paints you must get for a superior painting experience. Do not accept substitutes! Beware of paints that simply state "acrylic" paint on the label. Did you know that a manufacturer can put a small amount of acrylic resin in the paint and then add additional vinyl acetate or other lesser quality resins and STILL call the paint an "Acrylic Paint"? You have to be careful out there.

I power-washed my deck. I want to put on the best, most durable layers of protective coat(s) on the deck to prevent mildew, UV lights, fading, flaking etc.

Will it be best to 1st put on a layer of primer, then stain/paint a couple of layers and lastly a waterproof sealer?

That will be at least 4, 5 layers. It's a lot of work but what's the alternative if I want to get the same kind of durability?

Many Thanks...Mimi
