How to Paint your Front Porch

When I first saw our house, I fell in love with the front porch. It had so much potential, I just knew it! The whole exterior needs a lot of work. I have big plans for it and it’ll all happen this fall! To kick off the porch renovation, I decided to paint the front porch!

The maroon red floors weren’t doing it any favors though (they showed every speck of dust). I have big plans to install pink front doors and I thought that a grey would work better with the pink. And show less dirt!

This concrete coating/paint is good for interior or exterior concrete surfaces. It’s perfect for patios, walkways, pool decks, basements, and laundry rooms.

Getting your porch clean first is important! Do this by removing any flaking off paint and then sweeping. Make sure to remove oil stains or crease with a degreaser. Rinse the whole floor with water (I just used my hose). Finish by letting the floor thoroughly dry.

step 2- painting prep

Start by taping anything you don’t want the concrete coating. Give the coating a good stir and keep stirring while you apply- there is a bunch of texture in the paint so you want to make sure to evenly distribute it.

Next, begin painting by cutting in the corners using a 3″ brush. Put your concrete roller cover on a standard roller. Pour the concrete coating directly onto the surface. Roll a thin, even coat across your porch. Work in small sections until you’ve given your whole porch one coat.

Wait 3-4 hours and then apply a second coat using the same method above. Note, the can suggests 2 coats. On my edges, I needed 3 coats to get full coverage. Let it dry for 3-4 hours for light traffic and 24 hours for heavy traffic. It takes a full week to be fully cured.

The grey felt like such a difference to me! Everything I can do to this house to make it feel like mine, feels good! The finish has a lot of texture and seems like it should be very durable.
