How do i make it stick.What materials do i need to paint a concrete pool deck.?
first of all it would be a good idea to etch the concrete with muriatic acid. this will neutralize the surface. there are instructions on the jug to tell you what to do and what the ratio of acid to water is. remember always add the acid to the water not the water to the acid. make sure you have rubber boots, rubber gloves, safety goggles and a mask and cover all exposed skin. use a heavy brush and scrub the concrete with your acid solution. it will bubble and fizz. then rinse well and allow ample time to dry and make sure you don't get any acid in the pool water or it will lower your PH and total alkalinity. you have many options on what to apply. 1st is a concrete stain it will penetrate the concrete and shouldn't peel but it will fade in time and will need to be redone. 2nd is an alkyd porch and floor enamel this will work not bad but will peel in time. 3rd is my favourite a 2 componant epoxy paint. don't use the stuff from home depot with the clear bonding primer it will not last. benjamin moore has a good epoxy paint and you can get it in a wide range of colours. i have painted many pools with this and it will last a very long time. if you have any coping that is above your pool walls you can use this on it also if it is fading. it will extend the life of the coping if it is vinyl. 4th option there are companies that have a 3 part system that can look like granite you can do many different things with it but i have never seen any of this stuff last more than a year or 2. once your painting is dried test the water chemistry to make sure it is still ballanced.What materials do i need to paint a concrete pool deck.?
They make specialized paint for this that sticks on well, doesn't attract too much heat, and is non-slip. Try pool stores, pool catalogs, or some hardware stores.
