Add colour and interest to a concrete patio or driveway by painting faux pavestone blocks in different hues and shades.

Using paint for concrete allows you to be as creative as you like. I love the idea of a painted-on rug design that covers a plain concrete slab. Choose your favourite colours and add a colourful effect to a boring courtyard, or spice up a plain garden.
There are plenty of videos on You Tube that show how easy it is to paint concrete.
