The 747
Serious question, I had planned to paint my deck joists black so they will be less visible once the boards have been laid. I got to thinking and I have 20L of pitch black used diesel engine oil, I know back in the day people would paint their fences with it, and I've given it the sniff test and there is no real smell to it now that it has been sitting uncovered for at least 12 months in the shed.
Can anybody see any down sides to painting the joists with it? I'm not really looking to add any protection to the treated pine as it will be undercover, it is purely to stop being able to see the treated pine through the gaps in the boards.

@Winnie hmmm if you are not looking to stop rot then I dont think I would mate. I would be concerned about the smell when it hits a 45C in the middle of summer? For the sake of $50 for paint just roll on paint mate.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

I’d probably recommend a water based bitumen paint Chrisso Mate, we use it on posts for into ground applications with lesser grade timbers like Sugargum versus bulletproof Ironbark’s.
Have diesel sump oil mixed with turps (needed for workable painting) my hardwood fences for years and they unfortunately stick brown road dust horribly until they need re-coating again every other year painfully doesn’t last as long as you’d think

How big a gap are yoy leaving between boards? What is the contrast like between decking and joists? Maybe you are trying to solve a problem that really isn't there?

Yeah you are probably correct Daz. Will be 5mm gaps. Being 32mm boards you will probably never see the joists I suppose.
Thanks for talking me out of it!

If it were me I would be putting some sort of protection for the joists.

True story.....treated piney aint a pinch of shit worth as it used to be!
If you’ve cut its ends with a saw 🪚 there is no protection as the process of treating barely sinks in on 5mm of outers gifted to you via merchants whole
