HOW TO RESTORE A PORCH USING Behr premium Granite Grip Concrete coating

This is good to not only show how important it it is to read the manual beforehand, but to quickly adapt to when things dont seem right.

This WILL take 3 coats to look like you see in the Behr brochures. I suggest rolling with the recommended roller the first layer, doesn't matter how it looks because just for adhesion. The 2nd and 3rd layers, get yourself a large to extra large quality brush (3-4 inches). Brush the 2nd layer in long even strokes up and down, dont changes directions (stay with the grain)for uniformity and it will look a lot nicer. Don't go too thick on the 2nd layer and on the 3rd layer paint the same way but a tad thicker, i recommend a 1/4" layer..make sure you spread even and don't go back and touch up once you moved on, let it fully dry 4 hrs. In certain cases a 4the layer may be necessary... we did the 3 that way and got great results. Tan color gg13 was the color we choose.

I applied this to a concrete planter. Looks great a year later. It is frustrating to apply, however. It's basically painted-colored glue with granite flakes in it. It takes 3-4 coats to make a really good result.

I'm just getting ready to apply this to my concrete patio in the Tan color. Now I'm nervous that I need another two cans. Thanks so much for the video, it really helped me.

How does this product hold up to winter shoveling? I am looking to apply this on a small porch where shoveling in winter is needed

How many gallons did that take? Cause it’s thick? Maybe I missed if you said it…

Pour it on and push it around is the best way or just get regular deck paint and add grip to it

I find that it applies better using a 4" chip brush attached to a paint pole. It takes longer but the end result looks better in 1 coat than the adhesive roller they suggest in the directions. Using the 4" chip brush is tedious but it's not so bad if you're doing a small area like that porch you have there compared to a driveway or pool deck. Using the widest paint brush you can find would probably be better but not as cheap. I tried the scrub brush style with soft bristles and it still does not provide as good results as the chip brush style. Hope that helps.

Do you think that after prepping the concrete if you applied a flat concrete paint as a base that coverage would have been easier for the 1st coat of the textured paint?

How did you apply on the side of the step? i assume you brushed it on? They do not recommend the application vertically so was just curious how you did it.

Ok. I decide not to use it since the follow up says that the paint is coming off in standing water. Which I have plenty on my porch. Im not going with Granite look at all. Look's like I will go with 1 part epoxy paint instead.

Does it looks nice ? or should use concrete paint or part epoxy

Thanks for the brush tip. I also have half a concrete porch vertically. Is it going to stick to it? Is it ok to apply without etching since it has a coat of freshly put /Cement All /Rapid set cement on top. Thank you.

How long did it take to dry completely?

Can you use this on an already painted concrete surface?

$50 a can, or $28 for their porch and patio paint and Rust-Oleum Anti-Skid Additive for $8. So would have been cheaper. Would have been $70 cheaper. And would have gotten the same results. Next time you paint, pull the tape off right after you do the cut in's, it would be a lot easier to take off.

is this mineral gray option?

I did not like it it was just thick and did not go on floor smooth so I mixed it with concrete paint came out great. Not smooth has sandy feel not slipping

Looks nice. Good job. Did it ever rain while drying.?

Would you buy this again? How many gallons did you use?
