Patio Tiles paint

    Hi,

    Hoping someone can help.

    Basically we have a patio out the back, they're black patio tiles. (assuming concrete)
    They were greying fairly badly so I made the mistake of thinking they needed a power-washer but it turns out that I was wrong.
    If anything the power-washer took off some more paint.

    So I'm just looking to get some black patio tile paint that can withstand a bit of wear and tear and foot traffic.

    Can anyone please recommend the right type of paint?
    I found surprisingly little online. Stuff for drive-ways and masonry paint but I'm not sure if that would work?

    Cheers in advance.

    You don't really need paint, sealer is best. I had a similar problem for a few years and found that putting sealer on every few months after fine dry weather restored the natural black colour, and paint would cost you a fortune too, while sealer is fairly cheap. the crowd I went to are called smart seal, and they gave me some good advice as well

    Cheers mate. But I marked it a bit with the power-washer, as in it lifted off a few bits of the black paint so I think a sealer wouldnt really cover those bits?
    I thought it was back stone but it was actually regular patio tiles that they had painted black so then when I used the power-washer it lifted bits off on me
