Paints & Primers Q&A

Question 1

What paint would you recommend for painting stair treads that experience heavy wear and tear? Would a primer and sealer be needed as well? I have read that exterior paints for porches/ floors might offer the best durability, so was wondering if I should go with your exterior porch/ floor paint (which may be meant more for use with concrete, perhaps?). Thank you! View answer
