How do you paint concret block?
Question:
Answers:
with concrete paint or stain them, or use spray paint.
You must use a concrete primer then paint over the concrete prinmer after it has dried with exterior paint.
Places like Home Depot and Lowe's sell paint specially designed for painting on concrete. You need to clean the concrete, let it dry, then apply a primer coat, let it fully dry then apply a concrete paint like the one made by Behr. It's important to let the concrete fully dry between applications or the paint will not adhere properly.
Buy a good thick paint and a good rough roller cover. You will most likely need to apply several coats of paint. Wait for the first coat to dry before applying a second. If you have an sprayer it will go a whole lot faster. If you don't spray it just right you will have streaks, runs and light spots so be sure to get someone who knows how to use the sprayer. Have fun!
