I always start with deck details first. Complete one color, wrap the detail in tape and do the next until all details are complete and masked. Then do the deck colors. I think this gives a very clean application.(a littls time consuming)

I do what John and Chin Wen does. I don't bother with masking the deck, as a small enough brush generally means the paint wouldn't get on the deck...of course, it always manages to, lol.

I find that I'm hopeless with a brush and always seem to leave brush strokes so I figure the smaller the area I have to brush the better

I do the opposite (for steel decks at least) and airbrush the base colour then paint the deck by hand.

I tend to airbrush the whole deck with the deck colour and then, using a fine brush, paint the raised detail by hand.

.do you paint the whole thing, then after its dry, do you mask the deck part to paint the other stuff on it? Or how?

TIA
