i attempted (operative word, attempted) to paint my fence with a "10 year" deck paint. its peeling in 1. i did the prep with acid wash, scrubbed down, fully dried, etc. applied with a spray gun. total waste of time.
not only will i never again paint a fence or deck, i'm not even sure i'd bother clear coating it. cheaper to just pull up boards and replace as they warp/rot/split.
my fence is 3/4 painted (i ran out of paint, then the store discontinued it when i went back to get more) and i just don't give a shit anymore.
trex/synthetic boards fo lyfe or just plan on replacing bad boards at regular intervals after a couple years.

after 3 days trying to pressure wash every part of a fence with a borrowed pressure washer, i'm never doing that again either. and i don't shy from tough outdoor work.
