Is it feasible to paint one's driveway with sand-based paint?

Living in NW Missouri, we tend to have icy conditions in the winter. I was just wondering if painting the concrete driveway with a paint that I've added sand to would help reduce the slippery conditions?

You can add sand to the sealer that goes on a driveway. Here's a link: http://homeguides.sfgate.com/mix-sand-driveway-sealer-95738.htmlI've never heard of using interior paint on a driveway. I'm thinking the weather will peel it a way fast, and then you'll lose the sand anyway.Good luck! -

Rustoleum carries concrete paint and an additive that you can put on to make it non-skid. -

if there's sufficient ice - it won't make a hill of beans what's in the paint - it will be covered w/ ice! -

Yes you can. I added sand when I painted my front steps. You can add sand to cement paint also. It probably won't help much if the ice is thick though. It worked best for my steps after I had shoveled off the snow. -

Sherwin Williams make a paint...something called Deck and Dock. They sell a bag of crushed walnut hulls that you can add to the paint. The hulls absorb the sand so it will not wear off when walking on it. If you add sand to the paint and walk on it, it will wear off the sand and the sand will be visible.
