Default Concrete Brick ( White wash was removed )

I have a customer that requested something off my line of work.

She has a ten foot long walkway that has brick on the sides. one layer to make it look nice. It's a concrete brick that was whitewashed I guess to look old. Her husband washed the brick and walkway and the white is gone from the brick.

She wants me to try and match it as best possible to her entry way that was not done. It's such a small area and I told her I would look into it.

Can someone offer any help on making them look white washed again?

She is such a nice customer I really want to help her out.


Why do I like doing Deck Refinishing? I like taking somthing that looks like crap and making it look like new. Why? Good question! I hate painting! Deck Refinishers don't paint!

Some pics would help so we can see what they look like now, and what they're supposed to look like.

they have a cement stain at home depot.
Maybe just thin it out and apply.
Maybe watered down laytex paint, rolled on then swept with a wet broom.


The more you learn the more you earn! Thanks to everyone for their help.
