- Fountain Repair: How to paint your fountain! Be careful not to paint your fountain with water based paint if it was originally oil based. I've found concrete stain to work perfect for me!
Looks beautiful and thanks for taking the time. I learned a lot and love the color!
Great job, love the color.
Thanks! Off to Home Depot I go.
Just purchased a home with a cement fountain. Excited to try!!!
Looks beautiful. But one advice, concrete stain is better than concrete dye for outdoor surfaces, it lasts longer too. So when yours fade in the future, use concrete stain. Dye does give you a more intense and vibrant color though.
What if it’s already painted. How to remove the paint
Pretty good job overall! It just appears that you mixed waaay to much dye! You could have probably stained 10 fountains with the amount you mixed! Good review of Behr stain 👍🏼
Very well explained. Thank you!!
Thank you Alejandra! I appreciate you watching my channel. Let me know how it goes on your project!
Great video !
Good job looks great
Love the color you used on the fountain! You are a Great inspiration!
I would like to try the dye on our driveway.... what do you think about that idea?
Happy Birthday! Thanks for the video
Thank you very much Irishgirl! It was the Big 50! 🤣😂 Hopefully the video helps with your project!
Great video ❤❤❤
Great Job!!!
Thanks for watching Brian! Good luck with your project!
Great video! I think I’m going to spray paint mine with stone spray paint 😂 I’ll let you all know it if lasts
Did it work?
Thanks for the infor.
omg that looks nice
Very nice video. I cannot find the concrete dye it home depot. How long ago and which state did buy it?
Clean! 👍🏽
Thanks Big Dogg! Good luck on your project!
Does your fountain use a non-submersible pump as does my over 20 year old one? I replaced the pump several times and it then laid unused for years. I now want to restore it and it seems all these small pumps are submersible only. Did you do a conversion and if so, how did you do it? Last step is to get it working again. Thank you for showing me how to paint it and mine now looks great!
Thanks so much for the video! Very helpful and I need to refresh a 6 foot tall fountain myself...did you ever show the dried finished product? Happy Birthday
Thank you for watching! And THANK YOU VERY MUCH for reminding me that I never uploaded my video of the finished fountain. Haha! I did just now and labeled it PART 3. Had it in my phone and just forgot. Good luck on that huge 6 foot fountain! I’m sure it will look fantastic. Thank you for the Birthday wishes! It’s not easy turning 50! 🤣😂
What did you clean your fountain with prior to staining?
My fountain is painted and chipped. Will this work over paint or what would you recommend? Beautiful job on your fountain!
Thank you Lynette! I’m very happy with how it turned out. Funny you should ask this question. I do have another fountain. It came from the factory with a concrete stain. It started to wear out after some years. So years ago I hired a fountain repair person to repaint it. He put water based (acrylic) paint over the concrete oil based paint. I didn’t know. Well as you can guess oil and water don’t mix. So after a short time my new fountain paint started to peel. It got so bad. I had to sand down my whole huge fountain to remove it. Ugh! I would recommend that you sand down your fountain to remove as much of the water based paint as possible. Once you have that mostly off, then buy the concrete stain and paint your fountain. If there is any acrylic paint still on the concrete the new oil based will most likely help remove it over time and you can always touch up and reapply the concrete stain as needed. I am soooo glad you reached out with this question. I forgot I made a video this summer about me removing the acrylic paint off my large fountain. I’ll try and post that video today for you! Thanks for being a Larry Life Dad viewer and subscriber Lynette!!
did you strip the concrete first or did you just hit it with the dye?
What kind of paint do you use?
Is there a problem if there are fish in your fountain? Can the product be harmful to the fish in the fountain?
Why not use a bigger sponge? And why not a brush?
I’d mixed some sand it the paint so that it’ll have some light color in it
Anyone know how to take the dye off ?
Is this safe for animals
All Behr concrete dye is out of stock. Not sure why?
Lisa that is so strange. I got my concrete dye at Home Depot. But with this pandemic a lot of things are out fo stock or take longer to get. I’m in SoCal. They mixed mine in the paint department. If I recall they said they were out fo it too but then I told them they had to mix it. They had a Behr brochure in the aisle and it shows how to make the colors.
calling u Jeff sounds better than "Larry life dad" but what can u do?
🤣😂 Thanks Alex! My son made the name for me because his CZcams Channel is Larry Life. He’s got 56,000 subscribers for I’m small potatoes!
nah ur good
You're not supposed to mix the three colors together in the bucket lol
Why?
Yuk. I liked it when it was weathered.
Great video!!
