How to paint concrete?

Hi There Bunnings Experts,

 

I want to paint a "Visitor's Parking" sign on this old concrete. 

 

What prep and paint do you recommend for this job, and do you have stencil's I can purchase for the job?

 

The "Visitor's Parking" sign will be in the undercover car port (pictured) which gets sun and all weather. 

 

Do you also recommend doing this job in non-sunny weather? I'm wonder about paint drying / peeling issues.


Thanks for your advice.

I highly recommend you check out this post by @CSParnell who has detailed his epoxy garage floor project and can offer some excellent first hand advice.

Re: Painting concrete

Hi @LivMitch,

 

We have the Dulux 4L Yellow Concrete And Paving Line Marker which is also available in a spray pack. I am not aware of any stencils you could use for your Visitor's parking sign. Creating your own stencil out of stiff card could be an option.

 

Please let us know if you have any questions.
