Can i paint a stencilled driveway??
Hi guys i am in need of help.
I have a stencilled driveway and its a charcoal grey colour, but i did something stupid by using methylated spirits to burn all these maggots that were on my bin and the ground.
Now the stencilled driveway is all white in the areas that i used the metho.
Can i get paint to match the colour of the driveway and paint it or its not as easy as just getting paint and painting over the white areas?
I am really in the bad book with the mrs until i fix it.
Any advice would be appreciated.

If you know who did the original work laying the drive, it might be an idea to contact them and see what they suggest. I know you can use a paving type paint for drives but how long it will stand up to heavy use, I don't know. I saw some drives painted in sydney and after a few years they looked shocking. Paint flaking off etc. On the other hand I saw some that stood up quite well. If the white patches are just where you have poured the meths then maybe you have just damaged the surface layer and sometimes this can be revived with a clear sealer similar to the one that is used on slate. Brings back the colour to the slate but don't know if this would work on your stenciled drive.
Meths can be qute harmful to some finishes especially acrylics and plastic finishes.
Sorry I can't be more help to you but I never got around to painting drives. Painted just about everything else but no drives. Good luck, someone else may have experienced a similar problem and have an answer for you.Reality is no background music.
Cheers John

The Paint used to be Solvent based.
Guessing they still are.
Try one of the Concrete Stenciling Wholesalers
there are only a few Standard ColoursNavvi

Volitile
The Paint used to have a VOLITILE Solvent,
Not the Standard Turpentine or like.
Sealer was based on the same Solvent,
this is 12+ YEARS AGONavvi

I just got off the phone with a sales rep from HiTech and he was the most helpful guy.
He told me that all i need to do is buy some clear sealer and some storm grey tint.
Add the tint to the sealer in a separate container and use a paint brush and dab it into the affected area and keep adding a few drops of tint to it until the colour matches.
Afterwards, use the clear sealer and then let dry.
I'll keep you all posted and i'll try to get pics and post it up for before and after shots.
Woo hoo i think i might just get back into the good books with the mrs now.
