Concrete evidence

Mark Rayner transforms a tired old concrete patio with a lick of paint.

You will need:

To get the look: Mark painted the base of the central sundial with Resene Lumbersider in Resene Black Forest.

Step 1 Step one
Mix one part Resene Moss & Mould Killer to five parts clean water and apply generously to the concrete patio with a garden sprayer. Leave for 48 hours.


Step 2 Step two
Rinse off the Resene Moss & Mould Killer with clean water, then mix one part Resene Paint Prep and Housewash with three parts clean water. Use this to clean the concrete patio using a stiff brush. Once the concrete is clean, rinse it off with clean water.


Step 3 Step three
Use a waterblaster to remove any stubborn residue from the concrete. Leave to dry.


Step 4 Step four
Using the hi-solids roller, apply one coat of Resene Abanakee to the concrete surface. Allow to dry for a minimum of three hours before applying a second coat.


Step 5 Step five
Use a ruler and pencil to make three or four marks 100mm from one edge of the concrete patio. Apply masking tape to form a strip along one side of the concrete patio, using the pencil marks as a guide.


Step 6 Step six
Use an old paintbrush and stippling technique to apply one coat of Resene Helter Skelter to the masked-off strip. Allow to dry and apply a second coat. Repeat steps five and six until all edges of the patio area are painted.


Step 7 Step seven
Carefully remove the masking tape.


Step 8 Step eight
Complete the makeover by applying two coats of Resene Alabaster to the adjacent pergola legs and trellising.
