How to Paint Cement Paving

Getting your patio ready for the festive season?

The festive season is six weeks away, and the patio is where most of the celebrations will happen. If your cement pavers are looking patchy or stained, late October is the perfect time to give them a fresh look.

Here is how to do it properly with Prominent Paints Premium Roof and Paving:

- Clean the pavers thoroughly with a high-pressure washer and allow them to dry.

- Apply one coat of Surface Restorer as a primer.

- Apply two coats of Premium Roof and Paving, allowing the recommended recoat time between coats.

- Check the weather forecast. The fresh coating should not be exposed to rain for 24 hours.

- Allow the coating to cure fully before heavy use. Plan the job at least a week before your first big braai.

A couple of important things to remember: painted paving can be slippery when wet, so it is not suitable for sloped driveways or ramps. It is also not suitable for highly polished cement or floors already coated with gloss enamel.

Get it right, and your patio will be looking fresh for December!
