Weathered grey deck paint

8 years ago

I am using semi solid Arborcoat deck stain on my pool deck and pergola. I want it to have a natural weathered grey look. The samples I've tried all look too cool/blue. Which stain color is the best for this look? My deck is made of kiln dried pine.

I would go with a semi Trans stain for a weathered gray look semi solid will have to much pigment that will make it look more blue

I tried transparent. It had too little color and did not change the yellow tone of the pine at all. My carpenter and the local BM store agreed I would need semi solid. The best, of the ones I've sampled ,was Seagull; however it was still a bit too cool. The colors are so different from the swatches-does anyone have a specific color recommendation?

The pool will have bluestone coping surrounded by a deck (and pergola) similar to the first picture. I'm looking for a color like the 2nd picture-the silvery grey of weathered ipe.
