How can I change the color of a older gray Composite decking ? Im afraid to use stuff that just might peel off. Help me please.
Thank you, SMP

Evidently you can buy a stain for composite decking. I cannot vouch for how well it works but here is a link to one brand: http://www.penofin.com/wood-stains/knotwood-composite-deck-wood-stain
Yes, you can stain composite decking, however it is recommended that you use a solid color stain since there isn't really any grain to show. You would use basically the same procedure as with a real wood deck, cleaning with a good quality deck cleaner and pressure washer, and rinsing well. Apply even coats and back-brush the product to work it into the fibers of the decking material. Remember to allow ample drying time before exposing the surface to foot traffic.
I trust advice from Behr, although I personally haven't done this. Best wishes.

Thank you so much.
Solid color stain has a tendency to peel, I'd use a semi-transparent oil based stain
