How to colour pavers

Question
How do I colour the pavers that I am producing with the ABS plastic moulds? Jim


Answer
The paver itself can be coloured by adding a metallic oxide base colour to the concrete mix before placing it in the mould. Additional colour or colours can be sprinkled into the mould before casting through a sieve to give a contrasting face colour to the base colour of the paver. Stan

Thank you this was really helpful. I am desperate to color my ABS plastic mould pavers immediately.

I did not know they the paver itself can be colored by adding a metallic oxide base color to the concrete mix itself! It is extremely significant that i shall color these pavers immediately.

So, thank you for this great response you have assisted me a lot.


Thanks again,
Lois
