Supplies:

  • Patio Paint

Cleaning Instructions:

  1. Make sure desired surface is clean. Wash concrete or similar material with soap and water using a scrub brush. Rinse well and let dry.
  2. Stepping stones and similar items should be cleaned with rubbing alcohol to remove casting residue.
  3. Patio paint is waterproof and fade resistant. There is no need to varnish your project after painting. If you are using wood, a basecoat of Patio Paint will seal your piece.

Techniques
Opaque Coverage:

  1. Use a Foam brush to apply an even coat of patio Paint on smooth surfaces such as wood or terra cotta.
  2. For rough surfaces such as concrete, use a bristle brush.
  3. 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:

  1. Allow base coat to dry thoroughly.
  2. Brush contrasting color over first, making sure the paint works into crevices.
  3. Wipe off excess with a soft cloth. For best results, mix 2 parts paint with 1 part water.
