WARNING Painting Concrete or Pool Decks can be BAD

[@anthonykrusel349]

Refreshing, honest review! Thanks--especially these days when SOOO many reviews are "bought". Kudos, Paint Life TV!

[@Idahopainter]

Thank you for sharing🤙

[@ivraalia]

I can't wait for the prep video! I've been waiting years for someone to walk me through pool deck painting!

[@Idahopainter]

ivraalia it is already posted

[@ivraalia]

About to check it out. Thank you for the direction, and the info/knowledge!

[@elinzmeyer3550]

Honest review. Thank you for telling it like it is. Pool deck coatings are not inexpensive and the wrong one can cost you a lot! Good info, all the best!

[@Maxkil]

probably inconsistent in colour as it was tinted at 4 different stores. Time will tell with these products, I used a top of the line product around my pool, its all mostly peeled off after 5 years.

[@Idahopainter]

Maxkil correct. An SW problem cause 5 stores did not even stock enough for one deck

[@privatename2648]

I would have loved to know about whether or not it was COOLER, significantly cooler on the feet, than the product he usually used. Because if so, on small surfaces like walkway pavers, might be worth it.

[@DJaquithFL]

It's a good product, so far. We live in Florida and the guys used this same product. I would probably suggest 3 coats for a virgin concrete deck. The only issues I've seen so far are: chlorine (pool products) will burn the color pigment out of this product, and in a couple places it appears the product has worn off on sharper end points of texturing. We just applied it less than 2 months ago.

[@Idahopainter]

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

[@asid2burn]

Looks sharp. Good astetics to a pool. I want it but dont want to go threw the fight with that paint lol. Good work Chris!

[@Idahopainter]

Thanks for watching!

[@jamespritchard165]

Never had much luck with water based .. Always used two part with no skid mixed in.Ech with acid

[@mudhappy69]

I wish I found you before I hired a BAD painter a week and a half ago. One of the many issues is he used SW A100 on my pool deck and it is super slick when it gets wet. Can this product go directly over a fresh coat of A100?

[@VC-Toronto]

In the "subtitles" it said you used 3 times more than if you had used the same companies stain, but in speaking to it you said you used 3 to 4 more gallons of this product versus had you used the stain. ?????? Have you ever thought of doing follow-ups on some of these new products, such as coming back after 1 year, 2 year etc, to document how they are holding up?

[@Idahopainter]

Good pick up. At the time I shot that portion that what it was but as the day went on I could not believe how much more it took. We went to the paint store for more 3 times after that shot

tough job trying to keep your men busy everyday for 8 hours, lining up jobs, recording , editing, collecting, looking for work.....you obviously are busy-- hows the blood pressure?

[@joec1212]

@@Idahopainter I easily used 2x as much when I used the product. Cool shmool....it was a pain in the hiney. Did not care for the product.

[@derekb4505]

Great video on the product. I used the H&C Colortop stain and it came out great, the only issue I have is trying to keep it clean from dirt stains. Do you recommend a product to apply over the H&C stain (maybe a sealer) to make cleaning easier? Thanks!

[@christinalehor478]

Derek Bell OMG I am having the same issue. It’s almost impossible to keep clean. Mud just stains it. I wonder if there is a sealer as well or some kind of product to help.

[@alwaysrockn2009]

Good video. Looks like the step by the house should have been cut-in better- looks too wavy. Never would have thought of sw for pool deck paint. I grew up in the pool business in ca and that was never a brand that was used. Glad it's working and available.

[@Idahopainter]

alwaysrockn2009 rely that was just the first coat

[@borderlineiq]

Excellent candid video, from a pro to the layman. Thank you.

[@MichelleMillerRealtor]

I have a pool deck that already had a textured surface put on it that has worn and faded. Do you have a recommendation for a product to go over this?

[@arielgonzalez813]

same here

[@MagarThapaaMagarThapa]

verryy verryy nicee good information.thank you.

[@Idahopainter]

You are welcome!

[@joethomas6457]

So if I have a pool deck with multiple types of products one of them even being a helicopter pad material would you apply over top of

Does the can also say not to apply in direct sunlight

Seizure warning at 6:40

ivraalia yep caught it after the upload. It is a stone effect that was suppose to be on some wording

[@richardmckrell4899]

got it free, never used before, don't know if it's any good, but we recommend it. seriously?

[@keithwalker8474]

So how much does it cost per square foot to do a job like this? And is that including materials. Looks great. Thanks.

[@bajamalibuproductionsinc.864]

Have you done a video on the same product line texture coat? It is sprayed from a hopper and I would like to see it if you have used it or plan on using it some time. Thank you for the great videos.

[@nimster64]

How has it held up? Can I use it on my concrete steps?

[@Idahopainter]

Amazing

[@stevefridman]

Will this work on a pool deck which was previously painted?

[@mramanya]

Is it waterproof? Could it be used on a walk out concrete roof that will be used as a deck? I'm looking for a good solution on this roof.

[@Idahopainter]

It is water resistant, yes it can

[@charlesyoungblood3169]

Great Job!!!

[@Ron9257]

Like you, I try to use what I know works so I can make money.... without the surprises that come with some of the new products sometimes.

[@truth6027]

Can you use this paint to paint over washed concrete decking??

[@Idahopainter]

Yes, you can

[@armick57]

Etching the concrete is not required?

How many gallons did you use

[@joseelchihuahua5824]

Love ur videos bro wish I could work as a painter

[@GreenAppelPie]

Would you add water/conditioner to slow the drying?

[@Idahopainter]

GreenAppelPie I just don't feel comfortable doing that. Next time I would do it early morning

That paint can be spry it?

[@marlawhite3682]

nice job

Thank you Marla!

[@carlripley1871]

Would you suggest this, solid stain, or 1 part epoxy concrete paint for pool decking? I had new concrete put in and want to make the old and new the same color and dress up around the pool a bit.

[@Idahopainter]

Solid stain

[@carlripley1871]

@@Idahopainter thank you, have put it off as I’m nervous to do it. But I figure with the right prep and right product it can make all the concrete look real nice.

[@capeheartriz]

Hi, good video!....my deck was stained with H@C solid color solvent stain 4 years ago....its time to recoat.....would this product work or do I have to recoat with the same stain?.....If I use the same stain, should I acid etch first??….

[@thetoolman5380]

what was the name of the darker color. I just used this product on my back porch and the color matches the steps in your video. I like the darker color much better. The color I used was SW Bombay. much too light.

[@Idahopainter]

Sorry, I cannot recall the exact color

[@thetoolman5380]

That's ok. I'll live with it for now. Thank you for your quick response. That was the first time I used that product. Your advice was spot on. I had to go back for another gallon myself. Now 'I'm familiar with it I can zero in on the color when I decide to recoat. At least it won't take as much product next time. Thanks again! Great job on your online videos!

[@jimgoddard7662]

Looks good on video, but your too nice, if one of my guys took five steps to get into his roller bucket my foot would be up his arse, and with that heat the concrete holds, rolling out sections and cut in that far ahead will usually stick out like a sore thumb, but I also realize I’m sitting on the couch and not live on the job, looks good, keep on stroking my brother

Inconsistent color in multiple cans is Sherwin Williams trademark that’s why I only use their products if I’m unable to talk the customer out of using it

[@Idahopainter]

Interesting

[@markkeller9214]

Works good over old cool deck or similar painted concrete. I would never, ever use this over decorative concrete.

[@overlandsea2375]

What product would you recommend to go on top of a previous paint coating on a pool deck?

[@lorikamp4032]

Can this go on over existing stain/paint?

Yes

Woulnt it be easier to use a sprayer rig to coat faster to try to keep drying to a minimum

No, it would not be

[@jaytei1965]

I have used this and would not recommend. It did not last. Started to peel. Took forever to cure and any pool chlorine will discolor it.

[@TC-dp3vv]

Can you recommend me a good product to use? I just removed all the paint on my pool deck and was going to use this paint but baseon your experience I guess I will use some else

[@georgewessler6094]

Have this product on my deck. What a disappointment! If anyone has any dirt on shoes or flip-flops or dog has dirt on paws, it stains the surface, unless you are there immediately to clean it with water and bleach solution. Very labor intensive for homeowners.

[@Idahopainter]

Thanks for sharing your experience with it!

[@seanp135]

If you were doing your own pool deck would you go with standard H&C stain or the acryla deck? Which do you think would be more durable and require less maintenance?

[@Idahopainter]

Both products are great, the acryla deck turned out great so I would recommend it!

[@seanp135]

Thanks for your response and for the videos!

[@markkeller9214]

Looks like a slip and fall lawsuit waiting to happen. Always a last resort to paint concrete, once you do, you are pretty much stuck with it.

[@kathyskirbst5061]

@@markkeller9214 then why do contractors haphazardly destroy porch and patio floors when they build your house? If there is no coating that you can put on it to make it pretty. My large front and back porches have all kinds of dings and chips from their nail guns and what not. Looking for something to make the floor look better, but that will not peel off. Does anyone have something that has lasted for more than five years without peeling off?

[@theStirp]

I can't see a solid paint would hold up at places with 4 seasons. It be a nightmare if it peeled

[@Idahopainter]

OK

[@robertmahla7347]

Whats the best concrete pool deck coating that youve worked with?

[@johnwheeler3208]

Would you recommend the pool coating or using the stain?

[@christinalehor478]

This product stains soooo easily. I’m talking dog paws, shoes, furniture, literally anything! and it will not come off. It’s so disappointing because it does reduces the temperature of the concrete which is awesome around the pool, but not worth it. Be aware!

[@geotype55]

5:1 diluted muriatic acid wash will remove those stains completely. I use an old push broom to apply. Just yesterday removed some BAD stains from wife's potted plants that stained the decking with rust/chemicals. Worked perfectly for me.

[@curiosity2314]

Just something to note, compared to most channels I watch your volume level is very low, at 100% you are barely legible. Most channels I watch I'm at 60% volume.

Acrylics are not good for decks and/or concrete . Chemical curing products are far better (if you can still get them (H&C Xylene Base) Damn EPA lol

hey chris, try turning on "in body stabilization" on your camera for your free hand shots to help with camera shake. you can also invest in a lens with built in stabization or a gimble. 😎

H & C is trash... I saw some guys use it on a basement floor after doing a full concrete grind and prep (same as for epoxy).. A month later it was flaking and peeling.. damn shame all that prep gone to waste.

Yeah, thanks for watching!

[@GreenAppelPie]

What you meant was "Dries way too fast...."

[@Idahopainter]

GreenAppelPie dang fast. It was skimming over in the pan which was creating chunks being transferred to the concrete

[@kendesjarlais7577]

would you use it again is what it comes down to,,, or is it just a waste of time?

[@westside98]

No offense but it's lack of experience , Spray and backrol. With cover on using a typical Graco fireproofing sprayer . Also if you have vapor drive and or hydrostatic water pressure you should prime with an epoxy, But depends on dew point and moisture content of the slab

[@melaniemendieya5497]
