Thanks for everyone's help and suggestions. I was determined to finish that paver yesterday, so it's done. You were right about red requiring more coverage because that's the color I was having problems with as I painted an American flag on the paver. When I take a picture of my first project, is it OK if I put it in the Pavers album (it's not a big paver just a brick paver) or should I start an album of my own? Since I'm new around here I'm not sure what the right thing to do is and I'll have to figure out how to do it as I don't want to make any mistakes. Well, thanks again and Happy Monday! Sue

Hi Sue,Sorry you're having such a tough time with this project. What is the type of primer that you're using? I'm thinking if it's oil based you might have a problem. I understand having trouble with the color coverage......still seeing the dark rock color showing through if you didn't prime.....but I don't understand why you would have to do five coats over a white base coat. To my knowledege Patio paints ARE acrylic paints. That's just the particular product line from the DecoArt brand. I always have the hardest trouble with coverage of yellow, red or orange.
perhaps some of our members that paint more frequently on pavers with be able to offer more help.Leighsa
