A few years back, I scored an old concrete 'dragon on a castle' that might have been a fountain or just a planter. It has old 'whoknowswhat' (sealant?) on it that is mostly worn off. I'm wanting to clean it, seal the concrete, and paint/seal it to suit the subject and use it as a fountain/planter anew. :) Thanks for the info!

Great

@lorireeber4165 Год назад

what is your base coat ratio? how much water, how much paint? Thanks

@rubbermoldman8544 Год назад

I never measure exactly but I would say about 50/50 it’s very runny.

I know this video is old but I am hoping that you still check them. I have a cement Virgin Mary that I need to re-do for a friend. I was planning on using Acrilic Patio/outside paint. In this video, you say acrilic latex exterior paint...is that house paint?

@rubbermoldman8544 7 месяцев назад

Yes :)

@carminiacouoh459 Год назад

What if I’m not sure about the material the statue is made of? :(

@rubbermoldman8544 Год назад

It's hard to answer with out knowing what its made of either, but I'd recommend trying a small test patch somewhere on the staue to see how the paint reacts to it.

Can I put a base coat on if the statue has already been painted (there was no base coat originally)

@rubbermoldman8544 Год назад

Yes you can, it won’t hurt the statue at all and will make a nice clean canvas.

I have a 20 year old Chocolate Lab statue. Its in great condition but, obviously it needs a fresh coat of paint. Parts of it are very light colored. Should I just go ahead and give it a fresh coat of base, just in case? Does it matter if I do it even if it dosent really need it. I do think it needs it tho. Thanks

@rubbermoldman8544 Год назад

The main thing is to clean the statue of any loose old paint, I use a sponge sanding block for this. Then spray off with a hose to get it clean. Then I would do a fresh base coat all over.

My brain is freezing on this...... do I do both a wet base then go over it with straight paint, or just the wet base. Thanks, and thank you for being patient.
