how do I paint a concrete patterned drive?

[rio1956]

Hi I have a concrete patterned driveway, started to fade and loose its colour. i.e. red. what paint can I get to bring it back up or is there something else I can do? Thanks

Leave it as it is. You should of have block paving.

Yes you can get a sealer for concrete drives and it brings the colour back like new.

Don't scrimp on the price, my pi55 is stronger than some products on the market.

or this one says they are the best, there are two at the foot of the page for concrete drives. Gloss and matt

You can't paint it. The colour is put in when the concrete is wet and bonds with the cement. No paint will stick.

As I was saying; put this sealer on it's like varnish and it will bring back the original colours, it does have to be done every few years to maintain the as new look, the guy that laid the concrete should have told you this.
