    Hi,
    I have a large area of ugly stained plain grey concrete slabs. Was thinking it would be good to paint them, maybe a sandstone colour. I found this product which seems perfect but it is only on sale in Australia ...

    Has anyone come across something similar here or have you painted slabs yourself?
    Thanks

    I havn't painted outside slabs myself but there are concrete floor paints available that i'm sure would do the job we painted a kitchen floor till we could aford tiles and was fantastic and is in diferent colours from woodies and homebase , pricey but very hardwearing , hope this helps:)

    You could basically use any exterior paint at all. You just need to coat them in a stabilising solution first because with any precast concrete product the paint will eventually flake off. Then just paint as normal with you're exterior paint. You'll find stabilising solution in any local hardware.

    HTH.
