There are epoxies that will not be affected by gas or oil.

it appears most of the concrete 'painters use colored/tintedSherwin Williams' (H & C acrylic sealer) not paint... our n-bor just had his done in 'a random pa.flagstone pattern. where most decorative concrete artisans would have taken 2d ( 2 artisans) this outfit was done in 1 day. the 'flagstone' looks like many adjacent geometric patterns, not ' pa flagstone ' if i were still in the trade,i'd be embarrased of the work!
however evidently the customer was happy its still there after a month. which prompts me to think customer eitherdoesn' know good work OR bought cheap..............1 block from this abortion is an excellent example ofthat artisan's tuscan' finish which has depth & character
but, in the end all' painters must be competitive in pricet hankfully that customer recignized quality work... ps the coating is 10 yrs old. w/ no resealing

Another vote for Amy Newson! Any knows what she’s doing and knows how to make your driveway look good! She and her staff did mine about 4 years ago and it looks great. Highly recommend Amy Newson!!

Default Driveway

Company name is home services inc. jasper Reid is the contact 352-267-7814. Jay is the painter. Jay did a beautiful job on our driveway last year. Jay was recommended by friends he had done their driveway, garage walk way and lania approximately 10 plus years ago and it still looks good

We used Delcrete Coating 352-551-1515. Very happy with results. Also used Judy Burtoft of Murals and Decorative Artwork 352-750-1065 for the design in center of driveway which she did to match the pattern in our glass on front door. Beautiful work.

How much do I budget to have her do the driveway and how much is the reseal job every 3 years?

I could be wrong but I don't think epoxy stands up to uv rays. At least the epoxy on my garage floor by the door doesn't, I leave the door open a lot. Also if finished with a clear coat the sun will turn it yellow.

Sooooo many variables. It ain't cheap (of course "cheap" is relative). We had double driverway, front walkway, patio & lanai done and she told us (3 years ago) reseal would be "around $300. The original job IIRC was around $1.6K. Again that was 3 years ago. Even back then she was about 5 months lead time. There was geometric pattern on the driveway and 2color borders around everything.

typical epoxy is not uv resistant there are some but add 25% to buy,,, epoxy clear coats are usually uv resistant urethanes.

Make sure that you get ARC approval before proceeding to make a beautiful driveway.... Also make sure it doesn't get slippery when wet, so that you don't fall and break something!
