Materials Needed

• Outdoor paint in desired colors
• Paintbrushes and rollers
• Painter’s tape
• Concrete cleaner
• Concrete primer
• Concrete sealer
• Sandpaper or wire brush
• Broom
• Protective gear (gloves, mask, goggles)
• Bucket and scrub brush

Step 1: Prepare the Patio

Start by cleaning the patio surface thoroughly using a concrete cleaner. Remove any dirt, debris, or old paint. Use a broom to sweep the area clean, then scrub it with a mixture of water and cleaner. Rinse the patio well and allow it to dry completely before proceeding.

Step 2: Prime the Surface

Apply a coat of concrete primer to the patio floor. This will help the paint adhere better and provide a more durable finish. Use a paint roller for large areas and a brush for edges and corners. Allow the primer to dry according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 3: Paint the Patio

Choose your desired colors and start painting the patio floor. Use painter’s tape to create clean lines and patterns if desired. Apply the paint evenly using a roller, working in small sections to ensure a smooth finish. Allow the first coat to dry completely before applying a second coat if needed.

Step 4: Seal the Surface

Once the paint has dried completely, apply a coat of concrete sealer to protect the surface from weather damage and wear. The sealer will also enhance the colors and ensure a longer-lasting finish. Allow the sealer to dry according to the manufacturer’s instructions before using the patio.
