Review of the Behr Concrete Paint "Granite Grip"

[@nikkibarrowclough7562]

God I wish more people were like you, straight to the point and no extra explaining. Awesome review!

[@amitchell4206]

2nd time using it, is a pain using the roller to be honest I end up using the brush on the entire porch but…. I know,I know maybe I wasn’t supposed to but I have a lot to do and I need it to move forward!!!! I would say….. do whatever works for you!!!! Durability? I applied this 6 years ago and it looked great even powerwash didn’t do anything to it, now if you asked why again? I removed everything and build a new patio and the areas the I applied Granite grip were removed and is everything new!!! I recommend the paint is durable but it takes patience in my personal opinion I want results right away!!🤷🏽‍♂️

[@kbarrero2]

I'm using beige right now and I'm really excited by the sandy look so far. Very forgiving on old concrete that was painted and needed a big touch up

[@blucas6878]

Can you tell me what paint you using n what color

[@Sharona-21]

Looks great! Thanks for the short but informative video.

[@vijayrehan510]

Very good product, I used this on my Front porch and chipped and salt-damaged front steps. hid all ugliness. It's gritty when dry but very slippery when wet (downside). We tried walking on it with different footwear but still slippery when wet. Now I'm going to buy another Gallon of it along with anti-slip sand to sprinkle on it while applying this not needed extra coat.

[@codyscorner4337]

What concrete finish did you install this on? if the concrete is a rough broom finish or has texture would it still need sand added?

[@vijayrehan510]

@@codyscorner4337 Porch was Broom finish and steps were salt damaged and rough. Anti slip sand is inexpensive so I would still use when applying This paint first time. Otherwise will need more paint to add sand on the surface.

[@enriqueflorendo]

Thanks for clarifying this. About to go to home depot to get six 5 gallon buckets of this. Really excited to refresh our pool area.

[@enriqueflorendo]

So only add sand to first coat? Then do 2 more coats on top?

[@leaanneharris6146]

Did you put it around your pool? Considering what to do around mine.

[@RobertLofrano]

I have been up in the air and about which product I was going to use , looks good so I think I will go with this. The fact you are just a regular person and not paid by the company is good to hear. Thanks.

[@ktb0717]

How’d your drive way turn out? Do you recommend as well?

[@lcjjr.6714]

What did you do to prepare the concrete prior to painting?

[@MsTvincent]

Thanks for sharing. One of the best videos by far!

[@angelicaambriz6465]

Thanks so much! Going to use this on my patio was concerned about current paint chips that I could not remove with thinner This will definitely cover that without having to hire a professional!!

[@georgebanuelos1]

How’d it work out

[@adamcaveproject8299]

Thanks for the info. We are painting some brick today actually and have already decided we want to do this on our front patio and walkway. Good stuff.

[@al1679]

How was this stuff during winter? Does it hold up against shoveling ?

[@StewartMotoring]

It’s held up great for me, I’ve shoveled it multiple times

[@ubacow7109]

How does it hold up over the years?

[@Dobiemom420]

They make a concrete sealer, I would imagine adding that to the top of the paint would make it last much longer. I’ll let you know, I just got the sealer, just gotta get the paint.

[@alsouthall4885]

It peels. Waste of money

[@nickousticmusic]

@@alsouthall4885sounds like you didn’t prep the area well enough first. Can last a long time if it’s done right

[@keithp115]

I applied this to a properly prepared concrete pad where my hot tub is. For the past two years it has not peeled anywhere, and is perfect for exiting the tub without slipping.

[@StewartMotoring]

I’ve had it on ever since I made this video and is holding strong. Haven’t had issues and it’s right in front of my house entry door so fairly trafficked. Again I don’t get any money from saying this. Just my experience.

[@michaeladams2077]

thanks. came out great.... were wondering what color to pick. wondering if the same color as the house walls would be too much of the same? yours looks just fine. would you change the color if you had to do it again?

[@nadinepiazzabaldwin5322]

Good video - how is the texture on the bare feet? is is rough or hurt? Thinking about this for the outside patio.

[@arguswil]

You can also use a air texture gun from harbor freight. Its a little easier

[@nimster64]

Thank you for the video. I wonder if a squeegee would work instead of the roller

[@haya14goor]

Does it bond to concrete porch? Any instructions what Salt to use in the winter? Will it affect the finish?

[@frogmanpipes9561]

How has it held up after 3 years?

[@StewartMotoring]

Good no complaints

[@theciscoranger3955]

Looks awesome. Any idea about how many sq ft that is for the 2.5 gallons?

[@maguzMTB]

Thank you for great review looks great 👏🏽 love the color of your house as well. Do you mind me asking what color did you use for the exterior? Thank you!

[@ashishpatel350]

how well is it holding up

[@SamirBaksh]

Thanks for the Video and review, a year later, how is it holding up? I plan to use it on my pool deck would you recommend it for there?

[@StewartMotoring]

I’d recommend doing a small section and see how you like it before going all in if possible. I’d hate to recommend it and you don’t like it. But for me, it’s still holding up great. I haven’t done anything to it but give it a brush off a while ago to clean the dirt from the walk path. No issues.

[@deborahvasquez]

Wow looks amazing. Do u know if you can power wash it after some time?

[@StewartMotoring]

Im not sure 🤔

[@roberttresher3099]

I would like to hear a long term review, see how it is holding up

[@StewartMotoring]

I can tell you it looks real good still. No flaking or issues.

[@alladean9080]

I have seen few vids on this and they made complicated. Your video is the best, it tops them all...I’m going to do same thing and use your method. Thanks for sharing...oh btw it looks great what you did with your porch. Awesome

Thank you!

Looked great for 1 year. We acid washed everything before applying. In the second year it started to peel and severely faded.

Dang, that’s unfortunate. Mine is still holding up really well. No peeling. So strange how some have great results and others fail after a while. No idea why

Is there an update on how is it holding up over the years?

Thx for review. The amount used helps a lot!!

[@CoconutPalmPictures]

Nice video! Question: Does it grow mold / mildew / algae? Can it be pressure washed?

[@StewartMotoring]

I would feel comfortable pressure washing it. It’s held up really well. Just have to do a really good job with prep. I haven’t noticed any mold

[@artmomproductionsx3]

How did this hold up to winter and shoveling?

[@johnwelch461]

What type of roller did u use, thanks?

[@royrussell8531]

Love it!!! I would recommend using a piece of cardboard to remove excess paint before applying to stencil.

That does look really good. I was only looking for exterior paint but now have some new ideas :p

Is it slippery at all when you walk when wet or raining ?

[@lashlarue7924]

Good, honest, authentic. Thanks.

[@grindTIME1985]

the finish looks so nice. well done

[@PitmanConcrete]

You did a steel trowel finish on what looks like an inch per foot sloped concrete pad to enter your front door, that’s why you were slipping

[@lauramurrill9720]

My concrete patio now is just concrete and very textured and sharp. It’s really rough for my toddlers. Will this soften the texture and not be rough for the kids?

[@StewartMotoring]

From my experience with this install, I think it would make it softer. It’s pretty nice to walk on but also not slippery. But I’d just recommend getting a gallon and doing a test spot to see if you like it.

[@davebarnard8173]

I have a small walkway prob about 15 ft long by 3 ft wide ,, I would love to do this in the spring. Yours really came out great ,, have you had any issues with wear and tear , thanks great video

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

@@StewartMotoring debating using this around my pool, good idea?

[@StewartMotoring]

I think it would look good. However, you may want to add some clear sand to the product to give it more adhesion being that you will be walking on it while wet a bit more than other applications. Same sand you would use for an epoxy floor to give grip. May also test an area first before doing the whole thing, like steps or something?

[@lianalonge1984]

Stewart Motoring great idea. I definitely don’t myself or others to slip and fall. Thanks again!

If I were to patch the cracks and pot holes in my concrete driveway and then applied this product do you think the patches would be noticeable even after 3 coats?

[@citticat2]

I am using Top n bond to patch up a crack and I was wondering the same thing.

[@JD-Thalassophile]

Do we need to sand or primer it before applying this ?

[@StewartMotoring]

You need to follow the instructions for cleaning and depending on the surface finish of your concrete you may need to acid etch which gives it a rougher finish for the coating to bond with. But no primer or sanding.

[@JD-Thalassophile]

@@StewartMotoringThanks very much!!
