Green masonary paint - want to tone down a garage wall.
"Eric the Red" wrote in message ... My garage is a standalone building made from concrete slabs and occupies part of the garden. It is currently painted white so is quite visible. I was hoping to get a darker paint possibly green so that it blended in with the garden more. I went to the usual DIY outlets but could not find anything suitable. They all did the sort of thing that I wanted but for fences & shed and assumed these would not be suitable for the garage. Anyone else had the same problem with a garden wall. If so how did you solve it? Eric. My garden wall is concrete posts with 12" gravel boards set in. At the front it is three feet high, at the back it is six feet high. So a huge expanse of concrete! Options: Concrete paint - usually used on garage floors to seal the dust in/keep oil etc out. I used it on the garage floor. Masonary paint - cheaper, but usually in limited colours. Used on the internal garage walls. 'Ronseal' waterproofing for fences etc. Can be put on with a roller. Basic colours but works well. Used this on the outdoor fence. Quick, easy and relatively cheap (compared to the two previous) 'Soaked' in to the concrete. HTH Dave |
