I will try to do it the best possible but I am aware that I will surely have to make some adjustements.

I've searched the forum with no success, did someone ever colored/painted some strips?

I want to use pine wood, which is clear, and I would like to have some strips black ou brown or any other dark color, maybe for the sheerline, or the last strip on the deck, or...

Any advice to do that? Things to avoid... Thanks.

Pine is going to be on the heavier side and it tends to yellow when exposed to uv.

You could paint or stain, just make sure it's compatible with the epoxy. The other option, that at least one or two have tried, is ebonizing the wood. There are a couple threads on it. I'm not sure how effective it would be on pine.

Whatever process you choose, just remember it has to be done after the final sanding. Otherwise you will just sand off whatever coloring you added when prepping for epoxy.
