Hi Alex. Was chatting u recently. What kind of paint are you using for the bricks and concrete and do u use primer at all? I use meon vialine but I primes it first. Thanks, keep up the videos❤

Hi John. I typically use either an MMA from PPG / Prismo called RoburGrip. If you look for Rob Salt on LinkedIn 👇 www.linkedin.com/in/robsalt1? he can help you with pricing and delivery, but it’s usually around £60 for 20kg! Which is very good! Alternatively, we might use a sprayable MMA - Geveko do a great sprayable and hand rollable MMA called RollPlast and if you look for Andrew Price 👇 he can hook you up. www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-price-399bab35? Acrylic is around £95 / 20kg and is very good. It’s called HS or 3s route And lastly we use acrylic and MMA from LineWay UK supplied by Ash Kejriwal 👇 www.linkedin.com/in/linewayuk? Acrylic is approx £90 / 25kg and is very good. We have used Meon for paints for a few projects and indeed, that’s whom we initially were supplied by, but it wasn’t cost effective for us long term. Charles (Spencer) actually did manage to improve the prices for us significantly and I believe we were paying around £75 / 20kg for vialine approx which is very good 👍🏼 as the list price they have is £150+ but as we had agreements with others by this point we continued with Ash, Andrew and Rob. In all cases, a primer can be a good idea, I have tried both with and without primers and I think that comes down to the surface. The one thing you will need to do is clean the surface first if it’s concrete or block paving. In terms of best use, I’d go: Hand applied MMA Sprayable MMA Acrylic And, I’d never use thermoplastic on block paving. One thing I found really beneficial is to create a spreadsheet with each of the products on showing the list price and coverage rate. If I’m then looking at a project for a customer, I know the cost difference using each product and I can let the customer make the right decision on which product to use. I personally found that’s one of the best ways of deciding how to progress and choose products for a surface. Simply present the customer with the options in a very clear and concise way and ask them which they’d prefer having.

@@AlexCIrving super il check them out during the week. Thermoplastic is def a no no for brick or concrete, hate using it on it. Paint is the only way forward. Thanks so much for your help. Be in touch down the road 👍👍👍👍
