lol painting's not new. you can also stucco them, add stonework to them or basically do anything you want to them. it's not new, just uncommon because most people doing cinderblocks are going for cheap.

It's funny,I've always thought of using cinderblocks for a stand but I don't recall ever thinking about painting them.

If your going to make a stand of cinder blocks, I would use mortar to help bind the blocks together.

People die every year from using cinder blocks to jack up their car. They seem sturdy but can easily crumble from an impact.

Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
