Painting Brick Pavers
Brick pavers are materials used to make walkways, patios and so many other things. They are well known for their durability. At some point you may think of painting them. By doing so, cleaning would become easier and the paint would provide the bricks with a protective coating. In doing this job, you will need to keep in mind a few things:
1. Clean Well Before Painting
Make sure you get rid of all of the dirt or dust on the surface of the brick pavers to avoid locking them underneath the paint. Not cleaning the bricks also makes it hard for the paint to adhere to them.
2. Plan Ahead
This is important because you want to make sure that the weather will cooperate with you while doing the job. Do not do it if the temperature is below 10 Co. Warm weather is preferable as well as no sign of rain coming your way.
3. Mix With Turpentine
Mix one part turpentine with four parts of paint for your first coating. Since you will use it only on your first coating, make sure to use a separate container for the mixture. By mixing turpentine into your paint, the mixture will adhere to the surface of the bricks much better. You can now go over the first coat with the true coat of paint.
4. Multiple Coats
Before applying the next coats allow plenty of time for the previous coat to dry. You may do two to three coats of paint. It may take around eight hours for the paint to completely dry.
