How to Paint a Concrete Bird Bath - DIY Painted Concrete Bird Bath Project

Painting this old, concrete bird bath was a cheap and easy way to brighten up the garden. This DIY method can be used on any unpainted concrete. For bird bath saucers, I would look into paints or a sealant that will be animal friendly so that it doesn't taint the water. -------------- Solar Powered Fountain: https://amzlink.to/az0uffPvkzXJu Plastic Saucer: https://amzlink.to/az0WfBmWpDkGI Clear Spray Paint: https://amzlink.to/az0VeTmYvOuh8 As an Amazon Affiliate, I may earn on qualifying purchases. -------------- Step 1 - Clean the concrete and remove any dirt and debris Step 2 - Purchase a water-based paint in the color of your choice Step 3 - Mix the paint with water 1:1 ratio (don't use all the paint; this is just for the primer coat) Step 4 - Wet the concrete completely with water before painting Step 5 - Paint concrete with 1:1 paint to water mixture for your primer (do not paint dry concrete, make sure it's all wet with water) Step 6 - Once paint has dried, apply a coat of your paint (not mixed with water) Step 7 - Once paint has dried, apply clear spray paint with gloss or semi gloss for a shiny finish -------------- 🍕 Buy me a snack on trail: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/astraylife 📸 IG:   / a.stray.life   👤 FB:   / astraylife   🙏 Donate: https://astraylife.com/donate/ Paypal: https://www.paypal.me/astraylife Venmo: https://venmo.com/DanielStrayer CashApp: https://cash.app/$DanielStrayer
