Pool Deck Painting: After the deck is clean and dry, we should paint without too much delay. No need to wait for days, like with epoxy pool paint, our pool deck paints are a water-based latex. Concrete pool decks wonât need to use a primer coat, but two coats of our pool deck paint is recommended. If the pool deck surface is extremely rough and pitted, you may even want 3 coats, or a thick initial coating. Wood pool decks should use an oil-based primer, to improve the bond between the latex paint and the wood, and deck screws.
