You could also experiment with using an oil based paint; it may be less likely to dissolve the stipple.
Can you not rent a decent paint gun and compressor. I'm sure you must be able to do something like that in this town.

I'm thinking of doing exactly that as I have a second level deck where the underside has never been painted and I think it would be a lot easier to spray paint it than to go at it with a brush and roller.
