Painting the porch
Will stains bleed through concrete paint? Is there
any sort of primer for paining a concrete front porch? -- 8^)~ Sue (remove the x to email) ~~~~ I reserve the absolute right to be smarter today than I was yesterday. -Adlai Stevenson As seen on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=wacvet http://www.suzanne-eckhardt.com/ http://www.intergnat.com/malebashing/ http://www.intergnat.com/pussygames/ |

If there are oil stains a primer is a good idea. Actually a primer is always a good idea as it acts as a sealant and makes your paint job last longer and look better. |

I ask because my concrete front porch had been painted every year with an OIL-BASED paint, no longer available in California. Now, in order to prep the surface for the new permitted paint, I have to prime it. It's BM, and I had the primer colored to match the new paint. PITA, but short of transporting paint across state lines g what to do? If never painted before, I'd ask at a good paint store NOT a box store. I betcha they will say yes, prime it. Primer + finish coat will probably hide stains, esp. if you are using a dark color. Get the very best you can afford, esp if you are in a severe weather area where paint takes a beating. Good luck! |
