Wondered if anyone knows of any brands that sell beige coloured paint suitable for use on exterior flooring (concrete/ patio)? Thanks!

I wouldn't recommend doing this, slabs are not designed to be painted and if there is the slightest bit of damp that is in the substrate ,or it flakes off in the future it ends up looking terrible

It’s too late - it was painted previously! 😭

I've seen this happen far too many times! It is obviously too late for you, but leave patio slabs and exterior concrete well alone. Do not paint! Sorry not helpful to your predicament I know

Luckily it is only a small area, not the main patio 😄 thanks for the advice.

I painted paving slabs in old garden with just the cheapest B&Q own brand beige masonry paint- we had to touch it up every summer but tbh it was fine.
