Default Cuprionol fence paint on concrete?

The first lot should be fine as it will soak in. Whether it fades or not
who knows. If you re-coat at some stage, the concrete pores may be now
blocked and it may try and form a skin like a paint would and that might
not stick well. Should be several years down the line by then and you
might even have moved house!



thank you for letting me know, i won't try then.

I think what Bob said is when you re paint again, it may be having a
problem.

It seemed happy to take two coats at the time.

How is looking now? I am planning on treating out wooden fence and
concrete posts over the Christmas break if this mild weather stays around!

The colour on concrete and wooden fence is still same (I painted them
about In January/February 2015) and there is no fading on both either.
Cuprionol fence paint is a good product.

Eventually it washes off and in the interim looks a mess.

Mine isn't Cuprinol (it's Wilco's) after two years no sign of it washing
off the concrete, though it has in places washed/peeled off the corners
of the fence.

I've a steel bench outside, SW side of the house. Put on a 4mm top (the old,
1.5mm one took 20 years to rust through), painted it with Aldidl metal paint
and the bright sivery finish was just too much.
Went over it with 2 coats of B&Q green fence paint and, apart from scraped
bits, it's still good after about 2 years.

Next door neighbour sprayed all his fence panels and concrete posts with
fence paint around 5 years ago. It didn't look that too good after he
had finished and now the posts look blotchy. Not a good look!
