Title: Tarmac recolour
Post by: Neil Jones on September 23, 2014, 09:19:59 pm

Anyone done this? Easy or hard? Similar to sealing?

Best product? Is it worth the hassle or just avoid?

The tarmac needs to be in general good (structual) order....just tired/discoloured. Bitumen resin based sealers are better than  Bitumen emulsions (usually denoted by the price). Easy to get good results .

Cheers Chris. It's only about two years old but has hydraulic oil spots on it from an electricity company.

I know the oil will leave a stain so I'm considering treating that and washing down and then a recolour.

Any links for decent products?
