The Wilkesboro Lowes has a deck restore display paint on the left across from the light bulbs that you might want to look at. I saw it last week and am considering trying it.

I have just my stair treads left to paint on my own porch. It was never stained but I let the new "moist" pressure treated wood sit for about a year. I had a ton of nail holes to fill and sanding to do ... but I do love it painted.

Pretty sure you can, ya just cant do the opposite. I think all ya have to do is powerwash it good and maybe sand it down a little. Should turn out good if ya still have good lumber. Good luck, alot of work tho.

My porch, constructed treated lumber is really looking crappy. I stained it about 3-4 years ago (didn't do a very good job) and I would like to do something different, but I don't want to spend the money to completely replace the wood, not to mention the wood is still good, just looks bad. I am considering painting it. Can you paint over something that has been stained? If so, is there a certain process that should be done before painting?
