Question: Can I paint over concrete?

ANSWER:  Yes, of course, you can! To effectively paint over concrete, you must take these simple steps:

1. The concrete must be cleaned from dirt, grease, and/or oil.
2. The old paint has to strip. If it is interior concrete, it’s a good idea also to seal the concrete. Interior sealing is essential to preventing moisture from seeping in and preventing mold development.
3. The concrete must be primed.
4. Masonry paint is a great choice, especially for outdoor concrete, since it blocks off moisture penetration.
