    I am about to get stuck into my first reno. One job on the books is to paint the plain concrete driveway for a bit of the “wow” factor.

    Has anyone on this forum done this as a DIY project. Are there any hints you can give on doing this work. What are the approx $ rates per sq m.

    Thanks.[aacool]

    Swerve we had success in using white knight paints on a driveway. I marked out a simple pattern in tape I got from Bunnings and then using a roller painted with 2 coats of white knight paint and then lifted off tape when dry. It looks great and looks like stencil concrete, not much sign of wear and tear after 18 months.

    Good luck
