How did you know that it was john cena?

[@86rix]

Hey, I'm a builder from Australia. We also apply a wax coating at the end to get the wall darkened and even more character!

[@matm7358]

Hi, what type of wax do you use?

[@86rix]

Porters wax

[@buuts]

Love to see what this looks like mate. I’m finding mine a bit too light grey and plain.

[@86rix]

@@buuts hi, you can also use the Dulux sealer which is part of the Dulux concrete range. Makes it go darker and more character

[@ruthgross647]

and what type of wax did you use?

[@maunbrad]

Very well done. This is probably the best of the 12 videos I've watched trying to figure out how to do this

[@grims182]

I'm a plasterer. Was placed on a job to do this because the company couldn't find a painter. You saved my life on this job mate. Thanks!!!!

[@Bountyhunter3107]

Thank you for the scripture. Its pretty amazing to see how God uses people like you to speak to others ❤️. God bless!

[@snowypit]

Thorough work! If you want to this amateur style, you can sponge actual portland cement onto the white paint that was already there and then clear coat it, so it's not shedding dust into the room till the sun destroys earth.

[@Idahopainter]

Thanks for sharing Snowy

[@TheRussRave]

Great job bro. I'm an ex painting contractor from Australia and have done a lot of decorative paint finishes and cement paint finishes using Porter's products. Dulux make great products. I'm going to make up my own mix using Portland cement, lime and masonry paint to keep the costs down. I'll finish it all off with a clear masonry sealer. Great tips on using the float to get the burnished effect.

[@jackkhowley6901]

Mate just buy Rockcote smoothset , ready to go for $30 a bag

[@uijunghwang13]

You did very good job. If you apply clear top coat at the end you will get the best result. I've been painting for 20 yrs in Sydney. And that's one of my favourite feature wall.

[@sharonleaford]

Great look. My husband owns Toolman Maintenence in Qld Australia and he has been watching your video to learn how to do this finish.

[@stephenjackson2663]

How were you able to get that brand shipped here to the States? Dulux says they won’t ship outside AU? Can you provide a link to a source or recommend a similar product that can be purchased locally?

[@GiVeMeAbReAkWaKeUp]

that is a very good product I loved using it. I troweled two coats no roller and enjoyed it! polishes up very easy aswell.

[@leepenehoe673]

Awesome work mate I live in Australia and I've have a tin of this Dulux concrete effects in my room that's been sitting here for over 6months. Because of these lock down laws with the virus I'm actually going to paint our lounge room with it so I thought I'd look up on KZbin and I came across your vid. It looks easy so I'll be giving it a go in a few days.

[@Idahopainter]

Good luck its easy to do

[@oscargarcia6433]

Where can I order this product in the us

[@ljbouviertemple2569]

GREAT TUTORIAL!

[@Idahopainter]

thanks

[@universidade_da_pintura]

Another thing, you could start with a 220 sandpaper, using a 320, 400 and a 600 grit, in that order in a random orbit sander. It would give you a way smoother surface with more gloss

[@charleshennings5134]

its true, it looks beautiful and you made the application look easy

[@jenharris7373]

So beautiful

[@erelcaro]

thank you. its very beautiful! I wanted to ask if i can hang air conditioner and TV on concerte wall? And also it possible to do this concrete on wall with windows? thank you!

[@aijalonredmond2380]

Wow...Incredible finish!

[@whiphound7554]

The product just seems to be a liquefied Venetian plaster, which could definitely carry benefits with time and material costs.

[@jpwhitne]

Might try hydrating the wall between coats with a mister to increase the working time. The prior coat, when dry, is very porous and will pull the water out of the next coat you’re trying to apply making it much harder to work with.

[@larawalker4737]

OMG!!!! THAT'S absolutely FABULOUS!!! Love it!!

[@richarddenuccio8043]

Prime the wall with PVA - let it dry - then 1 mix part cement and 1 part drywall mud. Mix with 1 part PVA and 1 part water. Apply with a roller . ( the same technique that you are using ) . It will trowel down hard and slick. I have used this process for 25 years.

[@Idahopainter]

Thanks for the tips!

[@stephenjackson2663]

Richard, is 1-to-1 by weight or by volume?

[@richarddenuccio8043]

@@stephenjackson2663 Firstly thanks to Paint life TV. for the effort making the video. The formula i use is by volume. The industrial look is very popular and since my original post i have probably done a couple thousand sq feet. mainly casinos. The material cost is pennies per sq foot. ( PVA is concrete glue )

[@kalebbillig3472]

I wonder if you pre wet the wall prior to your second coat (that’s how you skim coat with traditional fine cement)

[@adamculver1284]

Great job, looks awesome. Where can I find this stuff in the states?

[@josuealvarez1322]

Thanks, it's cool to learn from good painters, and teachers!! Awesome job!!!

Can i use any primer in the concrete wall and put sherwin williams paint ?

[@stockjuice]

I have to do a repair on a ceiling in my winter home located in Florida. We had a roof leak while we were away and a small section of the ceiling came down. The construction of the house is concrete block with stucco finish. Inside of the house some of the interior walls are concrete also with a smoother stucco finish. I'm trying to figure out what product would be best to use on the ceiling after repairing the drywall board. Someone suggested mixing a small bit of loose plaster with regular joint compound, troweling on a thin layer and getting the finish to match as best as I can. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks

[@Keysgametime]

[@alby2233]

Where can I buy this paint? I need this.

[@robshelley3206]

You will experience gassing bubbles on the final coat if you overload your roller or let it " air " too much prior to applying to the wall. Even an overworked trowel on the second coat can achieve this anomaly , personally I like this abnormality as it creates an individual finish.

[@Idahopainter]

Thank you for sharing and watching🤙

Looks fantastic! 👌

[@guyhelou1987]

I can't tell if your wall had a texture to it or not before painting it. Do you think this would still work on a textured wall without priming ?

[@thanos834]

DryWall doesn't have a texture to it. Its fairly smooth.

[@universidade_da_pintura]

I'm always following your work, you're the best and bigger Paint Channel on KZbin. Your work really inspires mine. If I may, I would like you to suggest just a thingh. Instead of roll the product and after that trowel it, you could apply the product direct with the trowel. I think it would be more effective

[@martindekker8203]

would this be ok in a bathroom?

[@edytaszarfemberg944]

Hey, i was wondering. After all 3 layers and sanding You've made some lines here and there with that metal thing (no idea how it's called in english) but did You apply a very thin coat of paint while doing it, or You just used in clear and all that marks are created because the paint is not actually 100% dry?

[@Dubs2]

After you have done the 3 layers, you use a clean trowel to lightly scrape across the same way you spread the paint to reveal the texture effect. you do this after 2 hours and before 24 hours so the paint is dry but not cured completely.
