Regular exterior paint will crack and peel on a concrete surface, which is why trade quality concrete paint is recommended. If you are not sure about which concrete paint would be best to use, ask the paint experts at The Paint Shed for recommendations of concrete paints that are appropriate for our weather conditions and type of concrete on the patio surface.
When choosing a colour it helps to consider the colour of the exterior of your home and the colour of your outdoor furniture. Bring swatches or images of these colours to the store to find a complimentary colour, our staff are always on hand to help. Consider whether you will need a primer , some paints are self priming but a concrete primer can help create an even, non porous surface for you to work on.
It can also cut down the number of coats of paint you will need to fully cover your surface. At the same time as ordering your paint you should also consider if you require mineral spirits or paint thinner to clean your brushes or spillage.
Also, if you are not confident with a brush, you may want to use masking tape to protect the patio edges and door frames etc.
You can use a long-handled brush or a brush-length extender to make painting less stressful on your knees and back. Start in one corner of the patio using even brush strokes, and work your way outward. Be careful not to paint yourself into a corner, you do not want to have to walk over fresh paint.
Remove any tape you have used and finish the look by using a smaller paint brush to fill in your patio edges. Once you have covered the entire patio surface in a light coat of concrete paint, allow to dry completely. This should take approximately 3 to 5 hours depending on the type of concrete paint used. Paint dries or cures to different thicknesses, depending on its sheen and chemistry.
In most cases, this can take several days, depending on climate and humidity. Check the recommendation of the paint manufacturer. Decorative Painting Books and videos.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Love it This paint is great. Although it takes a couple of coats on clay it evens out and looks great. I would recommend priming the pots. Also I coat the pots inside and out after drying for at least 24 hours after 2 coats with decoart non toxic varnish and they turn out great.
I just wish Michael's would carry more quantities and colors.
