HI Maryemc, Welcome to the painting forum. Are you talking about the shaped pavers that you can paint or the "stepping stone" type pavers?

On our "gallery" side, there are some old posts with pavers painted like Uncle Sam, leprechauns, ladybugs, snowmen, santas, etc. I'd be happy to bump some of them up for you if that is what you want.

Not sure I've seen any of the painted steping stone ones on here.

As for advise--use your old brushes because the stones are pretty rough and hard on the bristles. They are fun and easy to paint though.

Glad you saw the post I bumped up for you Mary. I still have a couple in my shed that I want to paint too. Also have a black bowling ball that I want to paint to look like a lady bug. Have you seen those? There are also bumblebees--so cute and what a great way to keep things out of the landfills. Luvs
