Hi, I want to spray my white deck black, but I don't know how to do it properly so the paint doesn't like fall off. I want to give it a professional look if possible. I was thinking of using paint stripper to get the white paint off then sanding it, spraying a couple of coats of primmer then a couple of gloss black? Will this give a good professional look? And stop the paint from falling off in the future? Thanks!

Black decks are gross. If you are gonna do it, get it powdercoated. Spray paint looks bad.
How do I podercoat it? Or will I have to get it done somewhere professionally?

dont strip it. sand the white coat so its not glossy anymore, and use that as a primer coat. just paint over it with even strokes, dont rush it, and dont put down too much paint at once or it'll drip. automotive engine paint works the best in my experience, its really hard to chip.

sand it really roughly everywhere except the welds, then prime it in a thick double coat of matte black and leave it in the sun all day so it dries hard, then get resin and go over any surface where you sanded so hard that you can see it through the paint, then give it like 8 coats of high gloss black, and DO NOT sprac close to the deck or hold it one place too long, if you do that it will look really good, after that i get glue and paint over it as paint protection (make sure the glue drys clear) and then afew layers of clear coat for shine, then polish it and wipe it with car cleaning products to make it look amazing, make sure you hang it by wire when doing this so any excess paint can drip off and so it doesnt get dirt on it, after all that i suggest leaving it in the sun on a REALLY hot day to really bake the paint dry.
