concrete paint

[moonraker558]

I am trying to find where to buy concrete paint that can be used on a patio ( terracotta ) i dont seem to be having much luck with the usual diy stores. Any help would be appreciated.

possibly floor paint(eg for garage,workshop etc floors)---notn a great colour range though

i'd really think twice about painting a concrete patio. our neighbours have an area of painted concrete and it always looks a mess, the paint doesn't seem to last. perhaps you could clean the concrete instead if that's what the problem is.

would also agree with ethandron --after a short while your patio will look patchy--more walked on areas will be highlighted

Try looking for garage floor paint. Usually comes in brick red, green and grey plus a few sand shades. Agree with the above it'll look awful on a patio.Wickes do it �17 for 2.5 litres

or B&Q �25 for 2.5L or �40 for 5L

you may be able to get your hands on hydrochloric acid. This is used by the readymixed industry for cleaning the trucks that deliver it. it is very hazardous though a mask, goggles and Gloves is a must! a small amount diluted with water and brushed on the patio then hosed down with clean water will bring your patio back as good as new!
