Hi All, seeking some guidance here. Just pressure cleaned my driveway, concrete blocks with stipes design. Trying to refresh the paint which is faded but not sure what type I should get from bunnings.
The driveway is steep so will need to ensure the paint provides grip for the car and those walking up and down as there are no stairs. Attaching a pic. This is before it was cleaned. Thanks all.
Hi @bezeebee, sounds like a great project and we can't wait to see the results.
Let me tag @nfds, @prettyliving and @Nham for their suggestions. Our resident D.I.Y. expert @MitchellMc will also be happy to help when he's back on the site tomorrow.

Hi @bezeebee,
Is that stencilled concrete? If so, you'll likely need to discuss painting with someone that deals specifically with that process. Our concrete and paving paints are designed to go over concrete, so we can't guarantee a stencilled area's longevity.
Concrete paints are also not great with steep inclines. You'll want to stick well away from any gloss coating and be adding additional grit to non-slip varieties.
Do you want to cover the stencilling, or does the colour just need a refresh? If you paint, you're going to lose the brick effect grouted lines.
