Default deck painting ... yikes

Brightsides wilI fade and begin to chalk in a few years, will fill-in
non-skid, etc. Better to use a 2 part .... less work in the long-run.

Yesterday I was looking and thinking ........ maybe I should do some
painting of my deck. Fiberglass.

Anyway,, last spring I used some one part paint I got at West. It was the
best stuff; Brightside 1-Part Polyurethane Enamel

I'm sure some of you have painted fiberglass decks. What are some of the
secrets you learned while doing the work? Any tricks?

What paint did you use? How about prep? Did you work around the stanchion
bases, etc.?

The thought of taking all the hardware off the deck is ..................
&^%$#

I got to thinking, choose a small area and do that then do another area.
Try to keep the job manageable.

Any input.
