DO
Use a paint specifically designed for flooring
Use an outdoor appropriate paint
Use masonry or concrete primer and paint
Follow the right painting method
Apply a sealant to the concrete
Decide if you will include a feature pattern
Measure your surface to ensure you purchase the right amount, factoring the one or two coat product recommendation
Do use test pots. This is a great way to ensure when dry, the colour is right for you
Understand the different types of paint including oil, water-based, and what is required to clean your tools at the end of your project
Create a shopping list, remember to include drop sheets, painting tools and cleaning products
If it's your first paint project - it's good to watch a DIY video before you start
DON'T
Paint the concrete without repairing and cleaning it, plus leaving to properly dry before painting
Start your project without all the right tools
Start your project without checking the weather forecast
Forget to keep kids and pets away from freshly painted surfaces and leave a sign for potential visitors to stay off wet stairs
