Can you paint Brighton Masonry 300mm Charcoal Eziwall retaining blocks?

I had a retaining wall with Brighton Masonry 300mm Charcoal Eziwall Retaining Blocks but they had changed the colour in just 6 months, they look like a pale blue. I wander if i can paint them and what to use.

Hello @judyca 

Welcome to the Bunnings workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about painting your Brighton Masonry 180 x 100 x 295mm Charcoal Eziwall Retaining Wall Block.

Allow us to double check with our supplier regarding painting the surface of the retaining wall block. My only worry is if water is passing through the block by hydrostatic pressure, then surface of the block can't be painted. As soon as we have more information, we'll get back to you.

Thank you for your patience.

Hi @judyca,

It's not advisable to paint a cement retaining wall due to the issue my colleague @EricL has suggested. Adbri Masonry is keen to investigate what might have gone wrong with your Eziwall, as it certainly shouldn't have lost colour within six months. I'll reach out with a private message for some additional details so I can put you in touch with them.
