| I want to fully coat a deck in a solid color then screen on my graphics. Whats the best paint to use when coating a deck? I planed on using a water based automotive paint but Im not sure if thats for the best. |

a flood coat (under the graphics only), a flat white acrylic.
the whole thing, top, sides, and bottom-I used spray paint and it worked, but don't skimp on the primer if you want it to be solid. 2 coats primer, 2 coats color. |

| I also use spray paint. It seems to work fine to me. |

| I will be mass producing these to sell and they will be fully dipped (top,sides, and bottom). I don't think the spray can will be economical for my situation. I will most likely be using the spray gun method. |

Spray gun should work really good. Make sure you clean it out with paint thinner after use. Depending on the color, you may want to give a coat of primer too. |
