Shellharbour Driveway Painting
A well-painted driveway doesn’t just improve your home’s presentation—it helps protect the surface from weather, stains and general wear. At Karl Witt Painter & Decorator in Shellharbour, we use professional-grade driveway coatings designed for long-term durability in high-traffic outdoor spaces.
We focus on correct surface preparation, including pressure cleaning, crack filling and priming, to ensure strong adhesion and an even finish. From plain concrete to exposed aggregate, each surface is assessed and treated according to its specific condition and texture.
Driveway painting is a cost-effective way to refresh kerb appeal while extending the life of your concrete. For expert driveway painting, call

Surface Preparation & Coating Systems
Driveway painting is only as good as the surface it’s applied to. That’s why correct prep is essential.
We begin by removing surface contaminants like dirt, oil, moss and mildew through thorough cleaning and degreasing. Minor cracks and surface damage are repaired, and porous areas are sealed to prevent uneven absorption. Once clean and dry, the area is primed and coated with slip-resistant, UV-stable paints or sealers designed to withstand traffic, sunlight and changing weather conditions.
With the right approach, your painted driveway won’t just look great—it will perform well under everyday use.
How long does driveway paint last?
A professionally painted driveway typically lasts 3–5 years, though this varies depending on weather exposure, traffic levels and how well the surface was prepared. Using high-quality coatings and maintaining the driveway by cleaning and resealing when necessary can help extend its lifespan. Regular wear from cars, foot traffic and harsh sunlight may shorten the coating’s life if not properly maintained.
Can you paint over an old painted driveway?
Yes, you can paint over an existing driveway coating, but only if it’s in good condition. Loose, flaking or chalky paint must be removed first. The surface should be thoroughly cleaned and sanded or etched to allow the new coating to adhere properly. A compatible primer may be required, depending on the type of existing paint and the new product being applied.
What’s the difference between driveway paint and sealer?
Driveway paint is typically tinted and used to add colour while offering surface protection. Sealers, on the other hand, are usually clear or lightly tinted and focus on protecting the concrete from moisture, oil and stains. Some coatings combine both properties, but in general, paint is decorative with some protection, while sealer is protective with limited visual change.
