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.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. 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. 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. 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.

It’s entirely possible to use regular masonry paint to paint your patio slabs although you will need to take additional steps to ensure it withstands the elements and regular foot traffic. Now we’ve established that you CAN use regular masonry paint, let’s look at the paint that you SHOULD use. 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)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 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. 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.

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 Sealing 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. 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.Using a watering can or something similar, apply the Etch and Clean product evenly across your patio. 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? 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 When the patio is fully dried and you’re expecting decent weather for the next few days, you can start painting.
