Paved BBQ area sealed and painted

90% Complete

I am painting my house a section at a time. When I got to the BBQ outdoor area I decided the sandy pavers with 2 charcoal paver stripes had to be modernized to work in with the new house colour - British paints ARCTIC GREY.

So what you see is the first coat with a paintable sealant in about 50% of the gapes. This task is time consuming!

The second coat will go on soon then I am finished with that section of the house. Phew!

Materials

Excellent product for Pavers or cement

Selleys sealant did the job

Tools

I just used a basic caulking gun that can be found in the 

adhesives and sealant isles of the Paint shop.

Steps

Step 1

1. Used my Ryobi cordless blower to remove any loose sand / grit from the surface.

Step 2

2. Used a brush to cut in and paint all the joints between the pavers.

Step 3

3. Rolled on the first coat trying to achieve an even coverage.

Step 4

4. Applied the Paintable gap-filler / sealant to all gaps big and small. The larger gaps I pre-filled with paving sand.

Step 5

5. Applied a generous second coat once again trying for even coverage. The area is 5m x 3m. The pavers REALLY soaked up the first coat so be mindful a 4L tin may not go as far as you anticipate.

Hello @grazsmith 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's marvellous to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your painted BBQ area.

What an excellent finish, the Dulux Concrete and Paving Paint came out very nice. How long did you have to wait to put the second coat on? Did you end up finishing the 4-litre tin for that area?

Please keep us updated with your progress, we look forward to seeing your project complete.
