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.

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
