How to repaint concrete porch?

[jhb]

Hi,

I’m repainting this porch. Old and couple layers of paint. 

I have limited resources so diy’ing.

I’ve high pressure hosed it, up to the de-flaking loose paint and sanding it back with hand 120grit sander. I’ll give it a good go-2days.

then I’ll Berger Active Clean it and ain’t with white knight Ultra Pave quick dry 2x coats. 

1- image shows close up spot where I’ve sanded de-flaked. 

2- image 2 is the area I haven’t sanded yet.

3- is the tools etc. 

Question- is this approach enough? I’ve read another post that said wouldn’t recommend belt sander /paint stripper too much labour. But I’m worried about it peeling /looking bad. I don’t really have means to belt sand.

thanks!

Thanks Mitchell for your advice. I waited couple of days to paint and it turned out well I think! Few bumps but it’s an old porch with lots of paint layers. Pics attached.

Thanks for your advice- I went ahead with White Knight paint and think it turned out pretty well.

Hi @jhb 

Thank you very much for the update, that porch looks fabulous. The White Knight looks to have settled nicely and has provided a uniform finish. I'm sure @MitchellMc will be happy to see that porch painting project came out very well.

We look forward to seeing your next project.
