Techniques
Opaque Coverage:
- Use a Foam brush to apply an even coat of patio Paint on smooth surfaces such as wood or terra cotta.
- For rough surfaces such as concrete, use a bristle brush.
- Use long smooth strokes to work the paint down into any rough areas of the surface. It may take more than one coat to cover the surface.
Decorative Painting:
Patio paints are acrylic paints so you can blend, shade, or even use stencils.
Antiquing:
- Allow base coat to dry thoroughly.
- Brush contrasting color over first, making sure the paint works into crevices.
- Wipe off excess with a soft cloth. For best results, mix 2 parts paint with 1 part water.
