does porch decking have to be primed before painting with acylic latex paints?

I am not sure how "Permatex 81775 Rust Treatment , 8 oz." would be used for painting porch decking. If you porch has a rusting metal deck then maybe... I used the rust treatment for locking in/stopping the rust from developing on my car's undercarriage. I don't think this is meant to be painted on or even viewed, it starts a chemical reaction that coats the rusted metal with a greenish/blackish glassy looking substance (the Permatex?!).. I'm not sure it can be primed or painted on. I would read the use carefully before doing anything with it, is probably very toxic as well.

The swing does not have a finish. I left mine unstained, but put 3 coats of Marine outdoor varnish, which turned out great. Do not use indoor/outdoor varnish if you intend to hang it outdoors. If you're going to paint it, I'd recommend Bulls Eye 1-2-3 primer with a premium exterior latex paint.

I am not sure - I am using a basic oil based minwax finish on my outdoor project and the result is beautiful!! I did find a website that addresses the diffrent types/uses of finishes based on product content; indoor vs. outdoor. Maybe the site can help - Good luck with your project, here is the site address.http://www.thewoodwhisperer.com/articles/difference-between-spar-varnish-and-regular-varnish/

I'm going by memory, so if someone corrects me they are probably right... the kit came with two small cans of paint, a nice little brush, a mini paint tray. You do not need to put a protective clear top coat over it, or primer. I did golden oak cabinets in my RV white and they needed 3-4 coats and still kind of have a 'shabby chic' look to them. I'm glad it wasn't my house, I will do the rest of the trailer cabinets in a dark colour instead.

yes but the paint needs to be primed with the proflex primer first Thank you

I spray high build primer with this and a little thinner. Not too familiar with the latex. But this gun is for thicker paints

My suggestion would be to sand off any rust first. If its a large are then I would go Sherwin Williams for the primer and go with their recommendation for the metal primer. If its a small area then rustoleum should be fine. I would plan to apply 3 coats of Kool Seal. If you do go to the paint store then I would take the can of Kool seal with you to shake it. Its thick.

when I applied the E.S.P, I waited until is was almost dry, then I painted over it. It was an oranges latex paint that simulated wood grain. I then applied a polyurethane stain. It sure beat sanding the woodwork, and then applying the stain

I used the Power Painter to paint the railing of my deck with Behr solid-color stain. I've never used a power painter before, but I had no trouble whatsoever with this, and it functioned perfectly. The stain was maybe just a little bit thinner than latex paint.

Yes, you must use the Kool Seal primer first and then coat with the Kool Seal product.

I recently successfully sprayed latex exterior paint with both the 311 on smaller surfaces and the 515 on a larger surface. I had less success spraying an interior/exterior latex polyurethane with the 311 tip. It sprayed in a very mottled (spotty) pattern . What tip would anyone recommend or it my technique ?

If you use a good primer before you paint, it should be okay. I recommend Stix primer by Benjamin Moore. I work in a hardware store that sells paint, and this is a good product for your project.

I think so! Maybe you want to prime the canvas first with something better for oils.

You can, as long as you don't mind the finished surface being a little rough, or if you don't mind giving it a light sanding between coats to get a smooth end result. Since this primer is latex based, the water content does raise the grain a bit on unfinished wood. There is an oil-based version of this primer that won't raise the grain and you can still paint latex paint over it, but has a stronger smell and clean up requires mineral spirits.

You would have to prime it first and then paint. If you paint without priming the paint may not stick.

Yes. Please use a metal container as it is very strong solvent. You MUST use the special roller coming from the package. Other roller will be melt very quickly. Please wear a good mask as smell is very strong and may be not good to your health. Mix half of paint + epoxy at a time so you can do two coats. Plan well where you will start so not corner yourself. Try to finish one coat from one end to the other. Do not overlay if possible as it will break your roller - dry really fast! Cannot be perfect, but try cover every area. If missed in first coat, pay attention on second coat (wait for 24 hours). The paint is sufficient (barely) for two coats. Good luck. Yes. Please use a metal container as it is very strong solvent.
