Good job, Brian. Those railings are tediously!
All of the colors are solid since it's an acrylic resin. They have 54 different shades to choose from. You can read more about it on their website but I read around and most of the reviews were very positive. I worked off of my neighbors experience as well. For 5 gals, it wasn't cheap at $154 but if it lasts longer than the stain, then its well worth it. It supposedly has a limited lifetime warranty so we will see how long it lasts. I knew once I went this route, the deck would need to be treated this way going forward. No way in hell will I be sanding the whole thing to go back to a stain.

For the railings, I used a paint mitt which made quick work getting the first coat down.
