1. 0:01–0:09 Apply First Coat of Non-Slip Paint From Anti-Slip Steps, Step 4: Apply Anti-Slip Paint

   Begin applying the first coat of the prepared non-slip paint. Start with a paint brush to carefully paint the edges, corners, and any detailed areas of the steps, as seen in the video from 0:01-0:07. Once the detailed areas are covered, switch to a paint roller with an appropriate nap for masonry surfaces to efficiently cover the broader, flat surfaces of the step treads and risers, as demonstrated from 0:07-0:09. Ensure an even coat and avoid applying too thickly, which can lead to bubbling or peeling.

2. 0:01–0:09 Apply First Coat of Non-Slip Paint From Anti-Slip Steps, Step 5: Apply Second Coat of Paint

   Begin applying the first coat of the prepared non-slip paint. Start with a paint brush to carefully paint the edges, corners, and any detailed areas of the steps, as seen in the video from 0:01-0:07. Once the detailed areas are covered, switch to a paint roller with an appropriate nap for masonry surfaces to efficiently cover the broader, flat surfaces of the step treads and risers, as demonstrated from 0:07-0:09. Ensure an even coat and avoid applying too thickly, which can lead to bubbling or peeling.

3. 0:10–0:11 Apply Second Coat of Non-Slip Paint From Anti-Slip Steps, Step 5: Apply Second Coat of Paint

   Once the first coat is dry, apply a second coat of the non-slip paint, using the same technique as the first. Start with the brush for detail work and edges, as shown for touch-ups or final edging on the already blue steps in the video (0:10-0:11). Then, use the roller for the broader surfaces. A second coat significantly improves the durability, appearance, and non-slip properties of the painted surface, especially in high-traffic outdoor areas. Ensure full, even coverage.
