Step-by-step instructions

Do you have everything you need at hand? Then you can get started right away!

Step 1: Surface preparation

Thoroughly remove dirt, green growth, moss and other debris from the surface. The zerogreen® Green Growth Remover Turbo and/or a high-pressure cleaner can be used for this. The surface should be clean, free of grease and dry before use.

Pro tip: Don't forget to carefully cover and tape off any adjacent areas that you don't want to paint. This will ensure a clean and flawless end result.

Step 2: Apply stone paint

First, stir the paint well, preferably for at least 3 minutes, to obtain a homogeneous mixture. Then apply the paint using your chosen method. After the first coat, allow the paint to dry thoroughly, depending on the weather conditions. The paint should be touch dry; a good guideline for this is to wait about an hour.

Pro tip: You can apply the first coat of paint diluted with 10% water, this will then be your primer.

Step 3: Apply second coat

As soon as the first layer is dry, you are ready for the second round. The goal here is to achieve an even, rich coat of paint. It is important that you work on continuous surfaces without taking long breaks to avoid visible transitions or seams.

If after the second coat you feel that the result could be even more perfect or you just want to be on the safe side, do not hesitate to apply a third coat or even more. Each additional coat increases the color intensity and increases the longevity of the paint. This way you not only get a visually appealing result, but also a particularly robust and long-lasting one.

Professional tip: For stone joints with raised edges, edge surfaces and coarse-pored stones, it is worth using a brush or a long-pile roller to prepare the work. This way you can achieve an even distribution of the paint and a perfect result even in difficult areas.

Step 4: Admire your work

Once around 24 hours have passed, the stone paint has dried sufficiently and you can walk on your surfaces as normal or carry out further work, such as grouting. Give the paint around a week to harden completely. Then it is completely resilient and ready for everyday use. Now it's time to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor. With zerogreen® stone paint, you have not only saved time and money, but also achieved an impressive result that will sustainably enhance your outdoor areas while conserving resources.

Extra: The zerogreen® stone paint also contains a nano-impregnation that makes your surface water and oil repellent and inhibits the growth of green deposits and moss. To maximize the protection of your surface, you can also use our zerogreen® green deposit remover with long-term protection . This will keep your outdoor area beautiful and well-maintained for even longer.

Step 5: Aftercare
