Best way to make your driveway look like stone with paint?
Several years ago there was a DIY video on how to do this but can't fine it.
Due to your physical limitation you can easily obtain an extension. Give them a note from your doctor - they can't do a darn thing to you. Anyone that does not understand should not be in charge! Besides you should never paint in the heat of day anyway. Early morning is best, or in the evening when the sun may have passed but you still have light. Treat the driveway the same as you would a wall in your house. Wash with TSP, let dry then prime (Kilz or Zinsser type product), then paint! Borrow shop lights on a stand from friends and neighbors to help you out. Expect to take at least 2 or 3 nights or mornings for a proper long lasting finish.
fyi you cannot paint at night,it will not adhere correctly
I it possible that due to your health condition that the association would paint it for you? If not, there are some organizations/churches that might help, also sometimes Boy Scouts will do it as an Eagle Scout project. Otherwise Naomie's suggestions above are excellent. Try citing the AMD (American's With DisabilitIRS Act) if your association gets hard nosed with you. Best wishes to you!
I agree with above,but I would add that it needs to be power-washed to remove previous products or its never going to last, then you need to add a bonding agent to the concrete and then paint.
Ace hardware has knowledgeable staff that can help.
Thanks for your response Naomie! My HOA is aware of my MS (one even has 2 kids with MS!) and they don't care. In fact, they are assessing me a $100/day fine beginning BEFORE they posted the letter to me! Apparently this is in anticipation of my not appearing before them as ordered on 9/12!!
Not certain where/how a doc note will protect me - have you got any info on that???
You are correct that they should not be in charge - the Prez even had the community paid maintenance staff remove a private homeowner's bushes (no issue with them, he just didn't like them) and replace w/ community paid for sod. Illegal!! But, what can I do next? (your ideas are welcome ! )
