Product Information

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 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 Schemes 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. Apply your first coat with a brush or roller (start at the corner of painting area and working inwards). Please note: the paint should be applied thinly.

It’s best to use 2 coats of the sealer as that will give your newly painted patio added protection from dirt, oil and rain. Pros and Cons of Painting Concrete PatiosCover any nearby surfaces in case of overspray. Any overspray should be cleaned up immediately (whilst still wet) with water and household detergent. 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.

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. 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. 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. Patio paint is meant to be applied in thin layers so I’d highly recommend thinning out the product with about 10-20% clean water. Once you’ve done that, give it a good stir for 5 minutes. Remember to ensure that you’re painting during good weather conditions. You should aim to paint when there’s a spell of 3-4 days of decent weather. Method Two – Using Pliolite Masonry Paint and SealingNow we’ve established that you CAN use regular masonry paint, let’s look at the paint that you SHOULD use. Once applied ensure the floor is not subject to any contamination as this could cause the coating to fail. A sample pot size is provided in 0.5kg, which provides approximately 5m² (depending on the porosity of the surface) 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 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 paintThe patio should start frothing up – this is the acid reacting with alkaline and thus neutralising your patio.

Stir the product thoroughly, before pouring contents into your chosen spray gun. The formula should be diluted down with up to 10% water. Refer to the sprayer user guide for full instructions before every use. 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. 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. Using a watering can or something similar, apply the Etch and Clean product evenly across your patio. Apply only in dry conditions - ideally the coating should avoid rainfall for 2 days where possible. 7 days should be allowed before jet washing. Resincoat shed paint should be touch dry within 4 hours. Once coat 1 has been applied, leave to dry for 4-6 hours & repeat for coat 2 if required.
