Painting And Sealing A Concrete Driveway Floor - Easy Step By Step

[@patrickm9785]

Looks great! Can you give an update how this product held up after a 1-2 years under the sun and wear factor with cars driving over it?

[@andres99house]

@@harleygirl4life6 good luck, clean clean clean

[@snaubdca7yebf]

yeah that would be the interesting bit...

[@earth7551]

No updates must look bad

[@fabian4213]

Not for driveways. It will peal off with the weight of the car.

[@dareckmaurice9435]

did you put a sealant on it? curious because i did the exact same thing and a few weeks later foot spots tracking all over

[@abunatkat]

I used Allflor from Kelly-Moore and it's held up great so far 4 months. I prepped really well, power washed with a degreaser, then used muriatic acid with a surface cleaner rinsing well. Thinned first gallon with pint of water 2 coats, then 2 coats full body. 2 gallons covered almost 500sq ft.

[@ItchyKneeSon]

How is it now?

[@c50ge]

That so nice you won’t want to drive on it!

[@lee-annebarrett366]

Thank you for your clear guidance. My neighbor did it to his, but l didnt think l could. Now after seeing your step by step intuition, you have given me the confidence to try it.

Ain't gonna lie I feel the same!!!

[@ubernsealey1842]

This looks amazing. It’s been two years now. Does it still look good?

That looks unbelievably nice

[@christinetolley494]

Thanks so much for sharing looks great I'm doing same for my driveway so great info and video

[@duanegrice7561]

That looks really good. I'm about to do that myself.

[@eugene1599]

Thanks for the video, exactly what u what looking for

[@thebarak]

I think it looks better than the really shiny epoxy driveways. A darker gray would be good but nice finish.

[@murilloroger1]

Surface cleaner is a must for better quality cleaning 👍

[@timmurray33]

How did it hold up once cars started parking on it

[@wandasanes]

That was so Satisfying to watch

[@JackieBeeCD]

See instructions on the back "Not for driveways or garage floors". I made that mistake with 5 gallons of another product luckily I had walkways and a patio to do. Then I got the correct stuff for the driveway.

Yes, it's been 2 years now. I need to do my back porch. How is it holding up?

[@albarrowman3739]

After watching your video, I washed with Dawn then rooled with home Depot paint Slade gray. It looks like it was just poured. I read a couple dipshit remarks. Good job

[@inglouriousmofo]

Home depot paint won't last lol

[@blurayffan66]

Looks great. I have a guy coming in the morning here in Spain to do my driveway a similar color. I hope it holds up ok in the strong sun. Greetings from Alicante, Spain.

Looks great!

[@jessicamartinez3226]

After power washing you should buy etching. It cleans and the paint sticks better to the concrete

[@harleygirl4life6]

That’s what I did I used muriatic acid mixed with water & used a push broom to work it in hosed it off gave it a day to dry.

[@dalehan123]

Nice Job!!! Was wondering if one coat did the job for you?

[@shasanete]

Great drive way!!! Thank you for the advice!!

[@kl8650]

Awesome work bud👍

[@kellyceceliadonovan]

Looks great! How did it hold up with cars parking on it after a while?

[@polkajunkie1774]

Looks great!! Is it chipping or pealing now that it's been 9 months later? How does it look today? Great job 👌

[@aussiechina]

Same question too. How does it look now? Chipping or pealing?

[@edgarcardenas4441]

Need to know this also ?

[@THI3TEEN]

I agree, I would like to see how it looks now that its been 3 years, I've grinded the floor in my 2 1/2 half car garage and now im going to acid etch it to make sure the paint adheres properly. I was under the impression that you would have to use a primer/sealer after the etch to keep any moisture coming through. Then after the paint, hit it with a clear sealer (Matte or gloss) to protect the actual paint.

[@maalumzawadi245]

GREAT JOB!!! How many gallons did it take to do the entire driveway?

[@RJMoser]

Will there be an update on how the paint has held up to the wear-n-tear from the vehicles?

[@damonrice8469]

Looks real good. Is this one coat? Did one can do your whole carport?

[@Mikeexteriorcleaning]

Just wondering if this was a 2 coat job? I've done a few painted sealing jobs and I've always used 1/2 thinners to paint for the first coat which allows the paint to seep into the concrete better and prevents paint peeling. Then the 2nd coat is just paint. Did this end up ok without a thinner mix?

[@KRS_5150]

How did it hold up??

[@shanm.8204]

Beautiful job. I have a carport I need to do, and this really gave me some great tips. Thanks do much for video, and I like the music. A+

[@theworldisnotenough]

I would have used muriatic acid and filled the cracks. If all I had was paint I would use at least two coats for a driveway. I have to paint a driveway at a rental in a few weeks. Since it is a rental I'm using paint instead of an epoxy/stone coating. But definitely two coats of paint.

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

I agree with the muriatic acid comment.

[@shayincolorado5214]

great job👍

[@davejohnson3860]

What was the drying time? Nice work & Music too!

[@dennis17116]

I used H&C solvent based solid stain and only lasted about 2 years before falling apart. Going to dustless blast it all off and just seal it with a good sealer.

[@dantetorres3899]

thanks for the video you encouraged me I will also put it how long to dry?

[@GK7GARAGE]

Took about two hours

[@davidhoover8862]

Nice work!!

[@acustomer298]

How long before you could drive on it and when you did, did hot tires affect the paint ? Had mine recently done. Not sure when to drive on it.

[@GK7GARAGE]

24 hours

[@JG-nk7ld]

Is this safe for winter/rain for slipping?

[@jarrodlewis9459]

Why no primer?? This method will have the paint peel off fairly quick... Awesome job but some steps were missed

Home many coats did you do. ? And what type of roller did you use.

[@hkdanahui]

A nice looking driveway! How long did the painting take?

[@billydakid5556]

that seal krete material you used is the second part of a 3 step process you must use the lockdown seal krete concrete primer first in order to not get peeling then paint it with seal krete concrete paint then last but not least use the seal krete clear seal to seal the paint 👍🏽 i highly doubt it lasted being driven on with your method of doing it

[@rickstrada804]

You are correct sir it will be the same peeled bc he missed the most important step but hey he prepared the area good

[@inglouriousmofo]

@@rickstrada804 not really, dawn obvs didn't get rid of the oil stains

[@genghischuan4886]

I know this is old video but Im thinking that paint cures and darkens over time. Ive used paint or epoxies like that that took over a week to final cure into the color. either way I like this

[@grahamsmith7407]

Should have cut in the edges and the cracks with the brush first and then rolled off the rest? But ye it does look good well done!

[@thesuccessbags]

Did you put a primer after you pressured washed?

[@steveneville7394]

Oil stains come back through the new paint?

[@Semaj.18272]

Can I add another coat after 9 months ? My pathway some part peeled of I got patches

[@JB-xi5ek]

Was it non-slip? Thanks for showing your method, it is a great idea.

[@harleygirl4life6]

You can make it non slip by adding an aggregate to the paint or to a clear sealer you add over the paint they sell at Home Depot in the paint section by the rust oleum garage paint kits they sell a small bag it almost looks like sand. You don’t need at all to add the entire bag. Too much will make clean up harder but for mine I added a clear finish on the whole thing but on the patio itself up to the car my second coat only had just a bit like a quarter of the bag in the sealer & that did the trick so when it was wait wasn’t slippery.

Looks good going to do mine

[@danschenck9442]

how did it do oncovering up stains in driveway, how many coats did it take?..

[@musikichleibe]

looks like he only did one coat... So it's probably not holding up that great, he didn't really seem to fill in the bug holes ( tiny porous holes in concrete ) very well. So unfortunately water is going to get into those holes and eventually expose/get underneath the coating and bubble and eventually crack/peel. Plus, he did no top coat, if he does a "review video" i'd be surprised to see it the exact same... but that being said, at least he cares enough to do this in the first place.

[@yususfsayanisayani8579]

How last long this kind job look very easy job

[@gladysclement8801]

If paint has been on a Patio for several years should you reseal prior to repainting again.

[@eddiegmagnetfishing5184]

If motor or transmission oil drips on it, will it come off easier?

[@shannonfranciscoriley3444]

Can you post some photos of the longevity? And how it’s held up?

How is it holding up after a year?

[@wavyjeff]

it looks great!

[@jjbarraza1029]

Bought the same pressure washer.. do you know if you can adapt a surface cleaner?

To adapt a surface cleaner your pressure washer must be at least 3,000 psi

[@hollyhold562]

Your driveway project looks very nice! An update on how your driveway looks + performs TODAY, August 2023, would greatly help me with this project, please? I do wonder if my HOA, insufferable, will fine me for Seal Kreting the driveway apron, or even the driveway itself. I propose to clean the concrete well, repair the 4x4' corner where it has spalled, due to landscaper's sprinkler's watering that corner of the driveway for years, and applying SEAL-KRETE in an inconspicuous, clean, attractive color (I'm selling the idea here, just to practice lol) vs. paying to have new slabs poured? That would be QUITE the street mess &, actually, prohibitively expensive. I don't own the driveway; we, the owners, all commonly do. The attached apron should be treated at the same time, so as to blend in with the main driveway; the apron is only about 3 feet deep. Otherwise, the difference will be quite noticeable. I'm on a private, community street, not a municipal street.

[@miiitchhh225]

Can you update on how it's held up? My current concrete driveway is unpainted, and I fear that painting it will result in something that I must then repaint every year or two or else it'll look bad.. I just don't want to create a monster, you know?

[@harleygirl4life6]

It depends a lot on the climate the Midwest with the salted ice roads that is a nightmare & it flakes after one winter I know from my garage in Illinois it was a brand new home I prepped the 3 car garage used rust oleum kit to do it after first winter chips were tracked in the house. Before that I did it also to s brand new house a 3 car garage in Arizona there I had no issue at all the 3 years I lived there it was perfect & my sister bought it from me & had it a few years ‘ there it held up. So if you are in a snowy climate with salt on your roads. Don’t even THINK about it !!!! It will be a monster !!! Hope that helps someone.

[@robinmoore7627]

What can I put over it to make it shine?

[@abtin1]

I can guarantee this fell apart in the first week after doing it. There was still a ton of oil and grease which would prevent the paint from sticking, and the product was not intended for 3 ton cars to be parked on it.

[@kennethanway7979]

Yup...and only one coat.

If your driveway has been painted or stained before you do not have to acid wash it. I used a water based paint from Sherwin Williams and it dried rapidly.
