Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about painted pavers.

The key to long lasting paving paint is preparation. If the surface of the paver is clean, free of moss and mould then etched properly the paint will have a good surface to anchor onto. That's why workmanship also counts and not just the warranty of the paving paint itself. Poor preparation or rushing the job will result in poor adhesion and the paving paint will either crack or peel off.

If you take your time in preparing the surface there is no reason why your paving paint won't last.

I also suggest having a look at these discussions - Paver refresh with paint by @prettyliving and Painted outdoor pavers by @Marj2Homer.

Please remember to wear personal protection such as gloves goggles and a paint mask when working on your project.
