Driveway Painting
Driveway Painting in Cairns
Your driveway is the first thing anyone sees, and in Cairns it takes a hiding — oil, mould, tyre marks and years of sun. A properly prepared and coated driveway looks sharp again and shrugs off the weather.
We prepare, repair and coat concrete driveways, paths and pool surrounds, in plain colours, stencilled patterns or flecked finishes.

How it runs
Our process, step by step
- 01
Assess the slab
We check the concrete for existing coatings, moisture, cracking and oil contamination before quoting.
- 02
Clean and degrease
High-pressure wash plus targeted degreasing on oil spots.
- 03
Profile the surface
Etching or grinding so the new coating keys into the concrete instead of sitting on top of it.
- 04
Repair and prime
Fill cracks and chips, then prime or seal.
- 05
Coat and cure
Two coats applied, then left to cure before you drive on it — usually a few days.
Preparation
Concrete only accepts a coating if it's been opened up. Sealed, polished or oil-soaked slabs need grinding or etching first, otherwise the paint peels within a season. That's the single most common reason a DIY driveway job fails here.
Products we use
We use concrete-rated coatings designed for vehicle traffic, hot-tyre pickup and UV exposure, with non-slip additives available for paths, ramps and pool surrounds.
Built for the tropics
Tropical rain and shade mean mould is the long-term enemy on Cairns driveways. Coatings with good mould resistance and a proper sealed edge keep it from getting back underneath.
