I did my block paving front and back with the same product and colour. I finished it off with matte protector. 12 months later, still looks brand new 👌🏻

Correct, painters do it on the floor because they like a matt finish.

I personally prefer it as it was. But good product and finish.

Should have painted the lot 3 times with gray not worrying about going over the bits that you were eventually going to paint black. As the black is darker than the gray it doesnt matter and then go round with the brush when all the gray is dried and paint the black on. Cracking job tho it looks brilliant

Looks great! I used smart seal on my driveway, great product. One thing I would have advised is to have applied a clear coat (x2), smart seal do this in gloss or matte, though you can get a much cheaper one from screw fix. The clear coat essentially seals the drive in the condition it is in now, and helps to prevent sun damage and weeds penetrating into the joint compound. This makes maintaining the drive much easier and you can brush, wash or blow any debris off before it has chance to establish 👍

[@laraib827]

Excellent comment. Thank you very much..

I have 4 cans of that Smart seal product for my drive. I have been super hesitant to lay it down because ive never used it before. So thanks for showing how simple it is to apply. I think you should have sanded and adjusted the blocks prior to application. then the sealer sets the sand like concrete. At least thats what i was taught. Good job though guys, nice work.

[@StuartBrown-l5l]

Nice to see good people doing good work for a change

[@SMOUT_]

You guys are right, I should have rolled everything first then painted the black boarder. I was worried about the black re-emulsifying the grey and affecting the colour but it may not have been an issue. Something to think about for next time. Its all experience :D Thanks for watching!

[@bigdmed955]

Nice finish boys. Looks new now, was half asleep when I come across the video and I thought you'd said you laid the drive a week ago 😂 I didn't want to be harsh but I thought that's rough as f**k 😂. Rewatched the beginning then realized. Anyway cracking job, but remember about using noisy equipment before 8am, I only say it as I've had noise abatement orders on my company before by irate neighbours, and if they see you back at same street, they will jump on it mate 🙄. Keep doing good jobs buddy 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@darrenvaughan5915]

i would use my paint sprayer

[@TheHungryTrollRawr]

whenever we painted black gloss etc, grey was always the colour of the undercoat, baffled me when you didn't paint everything grey first off. Just could have picked the black out then at the end after the grey had been second coated. Would have saved you so much messing about lol Still, i'll never understand why people paint floors in the first place, better off using a cleaning solution soaking in and jetwashing it all clean afterwards. Imagine jetwashing that stonework when the dirt settles now with paint on it! Will look tatty fast i think

[@taherakhan7044]

Great video. Thank you for sharing. I am going to bug the hubby to paint the drive now that he has cleaned it, put in the kiln sand and sealed it. I think what would be useful to seal in the sand, is to apply a sealant. We did a matt finish and it looks awesome. Also protects the brick, paintwork and seals in the sand from any seeds that would sprout into weeds.

[@markcarr992]

Good job lads. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'd have give it all 2/3 coats over the border then just painted the black on once. Just saves all the cutting in👍

[@jamesa6720]

I painted our driveway the same colour last year. 12 months on and it hasn’t lasted as well as I’d hoped. Apparently you should paint on the clear sealant to protect it further, so just letting you know. However didn’t know about that poly sweep stuff, so will try that out next time. 👍🏻

[@Richy91]

Never paint surfaces you walk or drive on, you're just creating yourself more work further down the line for yourself or for the next people moving in, looks great for the initial period but its grim after unless people like painting every year or 2.

May have been quicker to roller everything a single colour, get that done, then do that black border.

You need to leasrn to put the screw-top back on the cans as soon as youve finished. "Time is money" means roll it all in the lighter colopur first, like "Bish, bash,bosh" then do the black. End result looks great though. It would be good to see it after 1 year/ 2 year/ 3 year etc

For a first time user of a product, well done - the finish was nice (even if Grey & Black wouldn't be my choice). You should consider getting a battery powered leaf blower, heck of a lot quitter than a two stroke.

By the way, should you look at the bag 's seal (that string that is used to prevent the content coming out) you will see that you can undo the string. The end that you go to is normally on the right (as you look at the writing). Try that. Those bags are stronger & once you master the art of opening those bags that will save you having to cut the bag.

@LarkspeedNL From the Scottish law... The permitted noise levels will be determined by order from the Scottish Ministers. Recent research (McKell, 2004) has identified the objectively measured day, evening and night time permitted noise levels. The time periods and corresponding permitted noise levels have been defined as follows:- • Daytime 07.00 - 19.00 hours LAeq 41dB • Evening 19.00 - 23.00 hours LAeq 37dB • Night-time 23.00 - 07.00 hours LAeq 31dB. ....
