I have a plain black tarmac driveway. I am doing some other improvements and want the driveway in a kind of sandstone colour. I was thinking of bonded resin driveways but seeing as the current tarmac is perfect, is there anything on the market that means i can paint it that colour? All i can find are black, green and red for tarmac rather than sandstone sort of colour.

Hopefully someone can help!
thanks

Without doing a big search have you tried tennis court paint, similar anti-slip surface in tarmac.

like these (more colours) - http://www.sportmaster.net/readymix.shtml

there might be more colour options around?


Ps. not sure if there are any differences between paints though, in terms of wear.

thanks, i had a look but all the ones i've come across so far are all American based firms-i can't find a UK based firm supplying the stuff!
Alternatively, i guess i could find a firm to spray on some of that 'high grip' stuff the council use near junctions? Does anyone know a firm supplying this?

Use it in train depots, platform areas etc.
