Product Information

It's important to ensure that the surface is completely clean before the application of the paint. Jet washing should be performed on a fan setting at roughly 30cm distance from surface or with a dedicated rotary patio cleaner. Do not use jet patterns or turbo type lances.

As with method one, cut in sections of 1m2 with a masonry brush and then apply the paint with a long-pile roller in thin layers. 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. Painted concrete can last years without so much as a blemish but this is entirely dependent on how well you prepare the substrate before painting, what type of paint you use, whether you used a sealer or not, how much foot traffic the concrete is exposed to and finally how often the concrete is subjected to standing water. Painted Concrete Patios Ideas and Colour SchemesApply only in dry conditions - ideally the coating should avoid rainfall for 2 days where possible. 7 days should be allowed before jet washing. 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. The patio should start frothing up – this is the acid reacting with alkaline and thus neutralising your patio.

Once you’ve applied your Pliolite Masonry Paint and you’ve left it for 24 hours to fully harden, you can apply the clear patio sealer. Once you’ve applied the first coat, you’ll need to wait 24 hours before adding a second, hence the need for at least 3 days of nice weather. Step 4: Seal the paint 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. Furthermore, when used in conjunction with their Etch and Clean product, you’ll ensure your patio is looking great for years to come as this primer gives the outdoor patio paint a great surface to adhere to.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
