You can get it at Bunnings. We ended up needing another big tin for the second coat. The big tins cost $151 each and the 1L tint pots were $40. So overall this project cost a bit over $400, covering the cost of a roller and brush.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve tried to show this in photos, but you can see there are patches where the paint has worn away.

I\u2019m not saying that price is not worth it as I think poured and exposed aggregate can add a lot of value to your landscaping, but it wasn\u2019t affordable for us at the time as we had already spent so much on the driveway. That\u2019s a looong story involving a really dodgy contractor who ended up taking us to court (and lost) which I might share another day!<\/p>\n<p>The small areas of the driveway where the paint has worn away haven\u2019t bugged me enough to warrant touching it up \u2013 yet anyway. I think some wear is probably par for the course considering most driveways get a lot of wear and tear, particularly in spots where you are parking.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"16339\" src=\"https:\/\/house-nerd.com\/2023\/03\/08\/painted-driveway-two-years-on\/processed-with-vsco-with-preset-70\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/house-nerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/driveway-painting-two-years-on-house-nerd-crommelin-sealer-5.jpg?fit=1229%2C1632&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1229,1632\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.85&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Pixel 6 Pro&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Processed with VSCO with  preset&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1678274203&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Copyright 2023.

(The others were White Knight Ultra Pave and Berger Jet Dry, one which I tried here years ago, the other doing the driveway at my parents house).<\/p>\n<p>For a driveway that gets baked by our harsh Perth sun, I think the Crommelin tinted sealer has held up well. Except for first thing in the morning, when we have a tall gum tree that shades a lot of the driveway, it tends to get absolutely cooked by the sun, especially in late afternoon in the summer. I think because of this, the colour has faded slightly, although I noticed with our bright light my photos today make it appear lighter than it is in real life.<\/p>\n<p>Many people love that Three Birds Renovations look of beautiful white and light grey concrete which is incredibly popular at the moment, but if you try this product I would most likely recommend a darker colour if you have an older driveway and a lot of crazy garden, like ours. It\u2019s much easier to keep a dark driveway looking clean. These are the Crommelin tints available, we went with Basalt as we thought Dark Charcoal would be too close to our Dulux Monument-painted exterior walls.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"16334\" src=\"https:\/\/house-nerd.com\/2023\/03\/08\/painted-driveway-two-years-on\/crommelin-driveway-paint-products-enhance-colours\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/house-nerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Crommelin-Driveway-Paint-Products-Enhance-Colours.jpg?fit=800%2C800&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Crommelin Driveway Paint Products-Enhance-Colours\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/house-nerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Crommelin-Driveway-Paint-Products-Enhance-Colours.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/house-nerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Crommelin-Driveway-Paint-Products-Enhance-Colours.jpg?fit=800%2C800&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16334 size-full\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/house-nerd.com\/2023\/03\/08\/painted-driveway-two-years-on\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"How Is Our Painted Driveway Holding Up Two Years On?
