Great video, was curious to see what I can do with my concrete and this looks great and cheap, how did it hold up years later?

PLEASE HELP 😊 I want to paint a design onto my cement steps. With acrylic paint and small paint brushes for detail. Im painting the face of the steps so you see the design facing you as you walk up them. What should I apply as a base coat BEFORE painting on my design. Also, what sealer do I apply at the end. I live in an area that snows. Thank you.

@@kal-w6i I would suggest paint specifically intended for concrete otherwise it will chip. Make sure you use etching formula before applying paint so it will adhere. You need a concrete sealer and apply following directions.

I don’t want to do the entire patio if I’m using the large stencils i want some of the space left without in the event I want to add some fun touches like maybe a bird or flower to make it more personalized but I think you did a nice job

You did a good job and you shared a lot of helpful tips, thank you. It looks very pretty. It really does make such a difference in the aesthetics of the area. I hope that privacy fence holds up, it looks like that vinyl fence I've seen people putting up in some areas near here. They are out in what used to be a farm field that now is lots for homes and the wind whips across their yards. A recent storm wiped out two homeowners fences. i feel so bad for them and they have not put it back up. I saw it all twisted laying around the landscape then they piled by street for collection. Your yard looks like it's a close neighborhood so hopefully they wind can't do that to your fence.

Not too sure about the 'bleeds' under the stencil. Taking more care to get proper edges would have made it much better end result I'm guessing. Maybe I will find out when I do mine!
@franca27962 жыл бұрын
Stencils are synonymous with bleed through regardless of tools used or the care being placed between each imprint. Since concrete is porous and is not exactly a flat surface just go lighter with the paint and then you’ll have to fill in. Either way touch ups are inevitable. Good luck !
@NoxiousRex2 жыл бұрын
@@franca2796 yes painting is very forgiving you can always touch up! The only way to get perfect edges would be if you painted the stencil edges with the Grey and then applied the white after. Because the Grey would seal the bleed through. But honestly not worth it unless your doing multiple stencils at a time. Touch up was better for her method with one stencil
