Seamless floor problem

[artme]

Put a geck up 5years ago and used Scion, a Hardy product.

Had the deck coated with a seamless product..|Epoxy, flakes, polyurethane topping of 2 coats.

The bloke did a lousy job but the product has held up well. I managed to spill some Cabots natural decking oil in a few spots
and tried to clean it off with acetone. Some came off very well but one area has been eaten a little by the acetone, SWMBO not happy!

The whole deck needs to be re-coated because of the original poor job. I am wondering if a good quality paving paint will do the job and
if so wht surface preparation do I carry out as the current finish is, as I said, polyurethane.

Thanks in advance for your wise replies.

Ring the technical dept for the manufacturer of the paving paint you choose and be guided by their advice

I spent some time today with a couple of knowledgible paint people.

Part of my problem is that I have no idea of what the finishing coat brand and type is, apart from the fact that it is Polyurethane.

However, the general opinion of all I have spoken to is that the surface will need to be ground back to get rid of the polyurethane coating.

Costings on doing that range from $2500 to $3500!! Not happy Jan!!.

well, at that sort of cost, you could always try spilling a bit more acetone.
