Resincoat Patio Floor Paint, Suitable For Stone & Concrete Flags, UV Stable, Jet Washable, Solvent Free, UK Manufactured (Storm Grey, 5KG)

Product Information

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? 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.

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. 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.Cover any nearby surfaces in case of overspray. Any overspray should be cleaned up immediately (whilst still wet) with water and household detergent.

In my experience, there are two methods of painting concrete patios that will produce impressive, long-lasting results. Method One – Using Specific Concrete Patio Paint and Primer 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?

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 the patio is fully dried and you’re expecting decent weather for the next few days, you can start painting.

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. Please note: When working with Resincoat Outdoor Patio Paint, it is possible for you to wash your tools, brushes and rollers with warm, soapy water once you have completed your project. 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 Once applied ensure the floor is not subject to any contamination as this could cause the coating to fail. 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 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. 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. 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.

A sample pot size is provided in 0.5kg, which provides approximately 5m² (depending on the porosity of the surface) 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. 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.

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. 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. 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. 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 Patios 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.
