Although I am not familiar with E P Henry stone, it is a stone that is in place on your patio. Have you considered staining it, stain would last longer than paint because it would soak into the actual stone, There are stains that have a sealer in the product. It is a good preventative measure you can take to preserve your stones.

Stone used in building or decorating often has an attractive, if understated, texture. Applying a stain to the stone can help bring out this natural texture and add to the stone’s visual appeal. Be aware that staining stone can only darken the color; you cannot lighten a dark-colored stone by applying stain. With either water-based or acid stain, be sure to apply a sealant afterwards to keep the stained stone from becoming discolored over time.

I would go with staining it rather than painting. Paint just doesn't hold up, especially on flooring surfaces.

Pros of Paint

The color options for paint are nearly endless, making your design desires completely within your control. The process is also much easier to complete as a DIY project, comparative to other concrete coatings. Another reason some homeowners opt for paint is that it can cover up concrete that has seen better days. This coat of paint provides a layer of protection for the cement, but the opaque qualities of concrete paint can also cover discoloration and stains due to grease, oil, or other factors. Unlike stain, with paint, you will know exactly how the color will look, no matter where you apply it.

Cons of Paint

Some reasons you might not want to choose paint for your concrete patio include upkeep and weathering. Paint is susceptible to chipping and scratching, especially if you drag heavy patio furniture across the surface. Harsh weather can also damage paint more than other concrete coatings. Concrete also needs etching or roughing before paint will adequately adhere, which is extra work and can require the help of equipment.

Pros of Staining

Stains penetrate the porous concrete, making it a more permanent and untouchable concrete coating. The finish is more custom and can even take on a look of stone or wood. Warm tones are often chosen to contribute to a rustic or outdoor look–perfect for your backyard patio.

Cons of Staining

Staining can be unpredictable. The moisture, aging, and other factors can cause the acid stain to take differently. Staining is also a long process and is best accomplished with the help of concrete professionals, like Hard Rock Concrete Coatings. Your options for acid staining colors aren’t quite as diverse as paint, either.

Have you thought about white washing the brick? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hD6mF_eOHo

Try masonry paint. Sherwin Williams will dye it any color you want.

We painted and stained our concrete patio, not pavers, so I don't know if it would work the same. However, I've documented both. We started with stain, thinking it would last longer, it did not. The paint covered better and has lasted years. I actually just updated the post to show how it's held up.

I would paint it. The formulas have come a long way in the last few years we painted our pavers with paint from SHerwin-Williams.

I think you can get grout sealer that it colored and it would do this

Paint would be a good option

Hi Theresa, you can stain them to alter the color to something you like more,
