Painting the cement patio
+2
We have a cement patio, approximately 400 sq.ft. that we would like to apply a finish to. The cement is in good shape, only 10 months old. Any suggestions as to preparation and paint product? Thank you!

Restore by Rustoleum! I used it and love it. It has been 3 years and still looks good. Here is my review http://designeddecor.com/applying-rust-oleum-restore-deck-concrete-front-steps/

Most people think of painting concrete, but please consider staining it instead. You can have stain mixed in any color. Solid color stain will look like paint, but paint will flake off eventually because it basically sits on top of the concrete. Stain penetrates and will never flake off. Just make sure your patio is clean and dry. You can use a sprayer or a thick nap roller. The first coat will be mostly absorbed by the concrete-which is a good thing. The second coat will give you the look you are wanting from paint. Our stain on our brick and concrete is 8 years old and through 100 degree summers and freezing winters, it still looks like new.

We enlarged our patio and bought concrete paint at Home Depot, painted the whole patio with a grey color, power washed the old section first, everyone thought we had a totally new patio put in.
