patio advise

chippie84,

I have used floor paint before but it does look rather industrial and its not guaranteed for external use but as far as I know it is still adhering to paving

 

Patio/concrete sealer(Thompsons) will enhance the colour already there, and, well, seal it too. More coats, slightly darker, more enhancement. Obviously make sure it's clean first!


Mr. HandyAndy - Really

 

I would pressure wash and scrub. Wouldn't paint because as said it looks a tad industrial

 

Just painted patio with sand coloured paint; looks like custard ! Tried a grey on top which looks sky blue !! Follow JCTS's advice !! Pressure wash and scrub. Any suggestions of reasonably priced oil based paint in a natural colour would be very welcome.... seems to be real gap in the market.

What's a natural colour? Plenty of neutral colours available though!

 

Hi Astramax, Went to Dulux centre and they mix floor paint to order. I am adding a handful of plaster sand to 5 litres of paint to make it anti-slip ?? You're right Astramax just a question of looking in the right place ! Thank you
