Hope the light doesn't hurt your eyes (lurker, closet) come out of
the dark. Sorry couldn't help it that's just my weird since of humor.
LOL
I have painted a number of pavers, and usually just prime it with
acrylic house paint then use my regular craft acrylic paint, and most
of the time have no problem.
Occasionaly I do have to put a couple of coats on, but never 5.
Don't give up, just try using your regular acrylics, and seal it good
after you get it painted.
I have never been fond of Patio Paint because it doesn't seem to
cover like some of the other acrylics so.
It might work better on rocks than the pavers.
Please share photos of all your different creations with us, we LOVE
looking at all kinds art.
