How to paint a concrete birdbath.
Hi i m in the process of refreshing my birdbath.
Spray off dirt and debris with a garden hose and sprayer nozzle attachment or a pressure washer.
Painting your concrete bird bath can be a great way to brighten up your front or backyard.
Apply silicone and concrete sealants in moderate temperatures.
Put on the rubber gloves and mix a solution of one part water to one part household bleach in the bucket.
I have cleaned it and wanted to give it a more stone look.
Let the bird bath dry and brush off any loose flakes or.
An old concrete birdbath likely has layers of paint dirt and debris built up that must be removed so new paint adheres properly.
After choosing the paint place a large drop cloth around the base of the birdbath.
Apply an oil based outdoor paint which sticks more effectively to concrete to the bath with a paintbrush as evenly as you can and allow the paint to dry for 24 hours.
However bright colors like reds yellows and blues can attract birds from high up and several bird species show a preference for these colors.
So now you know what to use for bird bath paint so what color should you paint it.
Use the scrub brush to gently clean your bird bath or other concrete item with the mixture.
After you apply at least two coats of primer to a concrete birdbath you can paint the bath as you would paint any other surface.
These supplies can be purchased at a paint supply store or home improvement center.
If your item is stained with grease or oil use a degreaser made especially for concrete.
Step 2 clean and prepare the concrete birdbath.
I went to hd yesterday and a gentleman there told me i should not use spray paint but rather use a water base flat paint.
Temperature extremes may cause product failure.
Paint the entire birdbath with sealant to prevent the concrete from absorbing water.
Step 1 clean your bird bath.
Anyone has experience with this.
The sealer is the most important part but the can should clearly state non toxic.
You may also use a paint sprayer to apply the primer and paint if you have one available.
An acrylic exterior paint is probably the best.
Most old bird baths were left with raw concrete or with white paint to make them look a little like marble or alabaster.
I bought a textured spray paint but then realized it probably would not work on cement.
Today they are painted in all kinds of colors and patterns.
