Thanks

Although, I have-used and will-use the bed-board painting/preserving method that held up the best in an extensive test by MAR-K

two coats of POR semi glass black paint/coating
followed by
two coats of Behr semi-gloss exterior house paint

(Scroll down in this page.)

We followed this technique on my 18’ bed COE.
It held up very nicely on a bed that “lived” outside 7 non-winter months every year.
