Concrete driveway painting


I live in Florida and am interested in getting into concrete driveway painting. Does anyone know where I can get training on this or perhaps if there is a DVD How To available?

Instead of painting why not stain it?!?!

We actually did an exterior home renovation on our television show where we showed one woman how to actually stain her driveway. What was really wonderful about it is that paint ends up looking kind of flat where as stain actually looks better over time and can end up looking like stone.

Here's a link to the video in case you want to see exactly how we did it:

Video: How to make a bleak driveway look like expensive stone with stain!

Also here's a complete article on how to do it yourself with a shopping list and step by step instructions:

Also, here's a before and after picture of the driveway and the house below (take a look at the garage door, we just painted it and it looks like wood! There's also a video and article on this project and the lighting we did as well!)

It was a nice house before...


Though after it turned out gorgeous!

Thanks for your reply but where we live painting seems to be the most popular. We know how to paint the driveway, that isn't a problem but a lot of our customers are asking for a design which I understand can either be done with stencilling or with a special tool. If you could direct me to a video or training class that would be most appreciated.
