How to paint a concrete driveway?

Hi there

Looking for some advice please about what dulux (or other) product to use to paint our driveway.

There's a sealed and unsealed option but not sure which onr to choose as its coloured.

Re: How to paint a concrete driveway?

Hello @CassFran 

 

Thank you for sharing your question about painting your concrete driveway. Looking at the picture you posted it seems that it is a concrete stencilled driveway. If it is stencilled, I suggest having a look at this discussion - How to paint concrete driveway? by @bezeebee. It's noted in the discussion that our concrete and paving paints are designed to go over flat concrete, and therefore can't be guaranteed on how long it will stay attached on a stencilled surface.

 

There is always the option of pressure washing, cleaning the surface and resealing it. But I suggest speaking to a trade specialist who is familiar with revamping stencilled surfaces. In this manner it will be done professionally and will come with a guarantee.

 

However, if you decide to paint the entire surface, just be aware that the stencilled effect will be greatly subdued. In regards to the parts that are still partly sealed. The trades person will be able to remove this either mechanically or with chemicals.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

 

Eric
