Can you spray resin over pavers?

Only if the pavers sit on a concrete base. Brick pavers on concrete can be ground, pressure cleaned and primed with Primer X, then sprayed. Pavers on a sand base never get coated.

Pavers on a concrete base

  1. Grind the pavers.
  2. Pressure clean thoroughly. Sweeping, vacuuming or blowing isn’t enough.
  3. Prime with Primer X, rolled on, never sprayed.
  4. Spray two base coats and two fleck coats of Step Safe Heavy Duty, then seal on a later day.

Pavers on sand

Don’t coat them. Pavers on sand move on their own, so there’s nothing solid for the coating to hold onto. It’s one of the rules I never bend, along with outdoor tiles.

What else never gets coated

  • Outdoor tiles, in any condition.
  • Concrete under 28 days old, or over 6% moisture.
