How to Paint Realistic Concrete
Concrete is found everywhere today and so at some point, you are bound to need to paint something to look like concrete. However, it is not a simple colour to replicate as concrete does change colour over time and according to what sand was used in the mix. Some concretes are warm, some are cooler so you do need to look at photos and try and match the colour as closely as possible to your area. This video shows how to paint realistic concrete in three easy steps: paint, wash and pigment.
