Painting Clay Bricks of Driveway

Siamak

Hi team,

I have clay bricks on my driveway and would like to give them a fresh look by painting. My questions are:

Can I paint over the clay bricks?
Is it possible to drive over the bricks after painting?
Will painting the clay bricks create a slippery surface?

Yes you can paint over bricks and pavers with specialty paint made for driving on .

Prep is to high pressure washer your pavers.

I like a paint brand called NuTech paint so google them and look at their concrete driveway range of solutions I will be using this paint ASAP

I wish bunnings stocked this paint.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Siamak. It's sensational to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about painting pavers.

Yes, you can paint over clay bricks, and it's a great way to give your driveway a fresh and updated look. For this purpose, Berger Jet Dry Heavy Duty Paving Paint is an excellent choice. It’s designed specifically for driveways and paved surfaces, providing a durable finish that can withstand vehicle traffic.

Once applied, the paint itself won’t make the surface overly slippery. However, if you're concerned about grip, you can add an anti-slip additive like Berger Jet Dry 300g Clear True Grip to the paint. This will enhance traction and make the surface safer, especially in wet conditions.

Make sure to thoroughly clean the bricks before painting and follow the paint's application instructions for the best results.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
