    Default Anyone paint pavers?

    It looks like such a simple fun project. I think a neat add on for a garden or patio area.

    Here's a link to some pics of some:

    What type of paints would you use on them?

    still curious what types of paint to use.
    I'm not good at freehand drawing, but I could stencil something or trace an image on.

    Masonry paint? Altough this site talks about use on an indoor concrete surface ,it may point you in the right direction.

    Sara, if you check out the paint section in crafts, you can find many different number of paints you can use. Some of the one's I use are called Patio paints. I have even used the Apple Barrel paint and had great sucess with them as well as the Cramcoat paints, the main thing would be to make sure you seal the paver once you paint it. You can get concrete sealer (clear) at most craft stores and Lowe's.

    I think you could use acrylics too if they were sealed.
