Product Information

Make sure you wait for the patio to completely dry before proceeding to the next step. Once the patio is completely dry, you’ll have a ready-primed surface on which to paint. Step 4: Painting

You can paint concrete patios without experiencing issues assuming you prepare the surface correctly and use a suitable paint system. If you don’t prepare the surface properly or if you use a paint system that isn’t designed for use on concrete, the paint is liable to flake or peel after a short while and means you’ll have to restart the project. Can You Use Regular Masonry Paint to Paint Your Patio Slabs?Currently, greys are all the rage due to their timeless look and ability to work with any given garden scheme. Choose a lighter grey such as Goose Grey for a more modern look or something on the darker side such as Anthracite Grey if you don’t want to worry about the upkeep of the patio so much as it’ll make it difficult to notice as the patio gets dirtier. Cover any nearby surfaces in case of overspray. Any overspray should be cleaned up immediately (whilst still wet) with water and household detergent. A sample pot size is provided in 0.5kg, which provides approximately 5m² (depending on the porosity of the surface)

Please note: When working with Resincoat Garden Shed Paint, it is possible for you to wash your tools, brushes and rollers with warm, soapy water once you have completed your project.

When it comes to ideas and colour schemes, it’s often more important to consider what you personally would like to achieve with your garden space.

Once applied ensure the floor is not subject to any contamination as this could cause the coating to fail. Apply only in dry conditions - ideally the coating should avoid rainfall for 2 days where possible. 7 days should be allowed before jet washing.

To clean any dirt, oil and surface efflorescence, apply an acid wash to the patio. After application, use a jetwash to wash it away. Aside from cleaning the patio, the acid wash has an additional benefit in that it gives the concrete a more porous surface with which the paint can absorb in to. Step 3: Painting Without using a paving sealer, ordinary masonry paint will need touching up far more frequently. Of course, it’s not going to last a lifetime so keep this in mind before painting concrete slabs with regular masonry paint. What Paint Should You Use? If you’re going for a complete redesign of your entire garden, you have a lot of freedom in choosing colour schemes. If you’re just painting your patio then it might be a good idea to consider how your chosen colour will integrate with the rest of your garden.

Alternatively, Johnstone’s Pliolite Masonry Paint is a decent option due to the fact that you can tint the colour to anything you want as opposed to Resincoat who only offers 6 different colours.Now we’ve established that you CAN use regular masonry paint, let’s look at the paint that you SHOULD use. As mentioned above, my favourite paint to use for this type of project is Resincoat Outdoor Patio Paint. So with that to hand, give the paint a good stir and then start cutting in along the edges with the masonry brush. It’s best to work in areas of around 1m2 so cut in for 1x1m before using the roller to apply a thin layer of paint within that area. My preferred concrete paint, and the one that I’ve tried and tested many times, is Resincoat Outdoor Patio Paint. This concrete flag paint comes in an attractive matt finish which not only looks good but also ensures you don’t make your patio more slippery after painting it thus saving you from potential injuries. Once the first coat has been applied leave to dry. Your brush or roller can be cleaned in tepid water ready to be reused for subsequent coats.
