How many coats of white decking paint do I need?

In most cases, just two coats of Owatrol white decking paint are sufficient to achieve a thorough, even coverage. Apply the first coat, working the paint into the grooves of the deck boards to ensure consistent protection, and avoid applying too heavily. Allow 3 to 4 hours drying time before applying the second coat. The deck can be walked on after 24 to 48 hours, depending on temperature and humidity. For best results, always mix the product thoroughly before and during application, and work the entire length of each board to a logical break to avoid visible lap marks.
