Painting Exterior Masonry.
14 Answers
We have a stone bay window which we have kept painted white. Unfortunately, it 'stains' quite quickly and soon looks in need of repainting.
Masonry paint seems to largely consist of White/Stone/Brick red whilst ideally we would want 'Green'.
What would be a good combination of paint/types to mix to achieve a weather-proof (we live very close to the sea) and attractive finish?
Thanks.

We've trudged round the DIY stores around us, and they all seem to carry the same, small limited range. That's why we are considering 'brewing our own' to a shade we fancy, but wondered if some types of paints are worse/better in combination with others.

Depending on how dark you want the green, you could buy a sample pot of dark green masonry paint and mix it with white masonry paint. Samples from here for example. We did this but we wanted a light colour and it worked a treat.
