Apply First Coat of Patio Paint

What happens in this clip

Pour the Behr Porch & Patio Floor Paint into a paint tray. Begin by using a paintbrush to 'cut in' along the taped edges, corners, and any intricate areas where a roller cannot reach. Once the edges are painted, use a paint roller with an extension pole to apply the paint evenly across the main surface of the patio. Work in manageable sections, ensuring full coverage. Depending on the previous color and desired opacity, a second coat may be necessary after the first coat has dried according to the manufacturer's instructions. The Behr paint used is slip-resistant and does not require a topcoat.

About the full video

This project details the transformation of a white patio into a sleek black one using Behr Porch & Patio Floor Paint. The process involves meticulous preparation, precise application of paint with both a brush and roller, and careful removal of painter's tape, culminating in a refreshed outdoor space ready for furnishing and decoration.

Step 4 of 6: Apply Anti-Slip Paint

Stir the anti-slip porch paint thoroughly before and during application. Using a brush for edges and a roller for the main surfaces, apply a thin, even coat of paint. Work in manageable sections, ensuring to maintain a wet edge to avoid lap marks. Pay attention to the texture of the paint, which typically contains aggregate for grip. Allow the first coat to dry completely according to the paint manufacturer's recommendations, which is usually several hours but can be longer depending on temperature and humidity.
