A:  Hi Mark, thanks for the question. As long as the Advanced Deckover is in sound condition, you can apply either water-based paint or stain over the top of it. I would suggest cleaning the deck first with our All-In-One Wood Cleaner, before applying another coating. If you have additional questions about your project, please reach out to us directly.

A:  Hi Shelley, thanks for the question. Slate Gray is fairly darker than Cape Cod Gray. One suggestion is to get an 8 ounce sample of the color so you can see it on your deck. Also, darker colors will absorb more heat than lighter colors. Have a great day! -Ronald
