How to paint a concrete porch

Painting concrete is simple and a fun project that will freshen up any concrete patio or porch. We did this for just under 33¢ a square foot.

Hello Brian!!! Going to paint my neighbors front porch and Googled how to do it and gave me your video. Now I feel I know how to do it. Great to see you and God Bless.

Trent, I stumbled upon your video searching for how to paint my porch but I recognize you from your viral video on IG about not judging others. Just wanted to let you know that it made an impression upon me. TY.

It looks amazing .just a suggestion to up it a notch. Maybe put banister around part of porch and then put flowers n mulch sounding porch. ❤.maybe a bird ath right there. Or little water feature .

Very helpful. I’m painting my porch soon. I watch your videos on Facebook, funny because I googled repainting porches and you popped up :).

What is missing flower pots. But it is really interesting adding sand to the first round paint

[@RSSProduction]

[@paintedladder5694]

Is there a link for that Strawberry Bucket? Cant find it and wanting to paint some concrete in style ;)

[@pham4041]

Nice color! How long did you wait for the 2nd coat

[@TheTrentTribe]

Thank you. I waited 3-4 hours.

[@prestonsmith4842]

How much did it cost to pour the concrete slab ?what’s the size ?did you hire a truck to come pour it ?

[@TheTrentTribe]

We did that many years ago. Can’t remember how much that was now. But the guy that did the work had a truck come and pour it, then he did the rest.

So I am going to be painting my porch in the next few weekends before it gets too cold. I was told I had to use primer. Is that not true? I have seen lots of videos where no one used it. Thanks!

[@TheTrentTribe]

Hey. We used paint and primer. I don’t think you can go wrong using primer though. We aren’t experts though. Maybe talk to your local hardware store or a Sherwin Williams maybe before officially doing it?

I’m new to remodeling.. I want to sell my home and move to an area with better schools.. anyway one of my small projects is painting my cement front porch.. it’s about half the size of yours.. did I miss something? Why do u add sand? Also I have a dog.. an American bully who is about 100lbs and so strong… he is always dirtying up my porch… it was gray and I’m painting it a chocolate color… do u think changing the color will keep the dirt from showing as much? Cause I power washed it the beginning of last summer and within a day it looked just like it did prior to my washing and scrubbing… any help would be amazing! Thanks I’ll be sure to subscribe even if u don’t get back with me thanks for the video

[@kimberlyel82]

The paint I got is Beher premium floor paint low lustre enamel porch and patio floor paint…. Should I still get sand or the stuff u were going to get that they were sold out of

[@TheTrentTribe]

First off, we aren’t pros. Lol I would go to your local paint story and tell them what you’re doing and they’ll hook you up. We added sand to give grit so the surface wouldn’t be slippery when it gets wet. If your concrete is already rough, you shouldn’t need it. If it’s smooth, then you will. You can’t really tell it’s in there either, which is funny. They made a grit that paint stores will add to your paint when they mix it for you. That makes it handy.

@@TheTrentTribe thanks so much.. I love ur videos.. I went down a little rabbit hole watching ur shorts.. very cute family

[@gabriellakuswadi4310]

Any chance yall gonna go to indonesia for ministry service? Haha just wondering🤔🥰

[@TheTrentTribe]

Lol. That sounds fun!

[@jasonlara]

I read you used paint and primer. Is the primer already in the paint? Or did you do do one coat of primer and one coat of paint? We are ready to do ours and bought porch paint and a can of primer.

[@TheTrentTribe]

The primer was already in the paint. Ours is still going strong. So hope yours works out good.

[@jasonlara]

@@TheTrentTribe thanks for the reply. I hope our paint turns out as good as yours. It's by Valspar called Porch, Floor & Patio / Wood & Concrete paint. Doesn't say anything about having primer in it.

[@rodm2345]

How's it holding up?

[@rhondamitchell5892]

Paint the door black

[@susiewood4645]

What color

[@TheTrentTribe]

Not sure what our color is. We took a piece of siding down to our hardware store and they matched the color. Lol
