William on Jun 25, 2016https://www.trex.com/trex/groups/content/@mktgtechsvc/documents/document/trexmd_000941.pdf. Personally I would not paint or stain composite decking. The main reason to install composite is because it is more maintenance free than wood.Helpful Reply

Sandra on Jun 26, 2016It is super ugly! Sun faded, white specks from power washing clean. (older deck-10yrs...I hear the tex is better now, i got the old stuff---I have been down the warranty path) If not paint, something :)Helpful Reply

Barb on Jun 26, 2016I agree Sandra. Our composite deck developed tiny fissures along the edges which filled with dirt and even power washing will not budge the dingy look. Thinking about using Behr Deckover on it. We used the Deckover on a wood deck to try prolonging its life and so far so good. The directions say it can be used on composite.Helpful Reply
