This question was asked by
In April or May I want to paint or stain my driveway which looks bland.
Would take 10 – 12K to replace :-((
The house was built back in 1971 and the driveway is concrete but has a rough “tamped rough finish”.
I hear conflicting info regarding painting or staining the concrete.
Can you advise me – should I paint or stain ?
There are 2 cars sitting on the driveway.
Can you recommend a product of yours that would be best suited and how best to apply it.
I would forget about painting, the paint will start to wear off after a few months.
Staining on the other hand (as long as the prep is done correctly) soaks into the concrete to form a permanent bond.
I would suggest using the Solid colour stain (link below) as this is the quickest and easiest way to brighten up tired looking concrete.
For Prep, mixing and application please review the videos section on the site.
