4.75 Gal. Color Grade Blacktop Driveway Filler/Sealer in Dark Beige

Used along with black sealer for Pickleball/Basketball courts in driveway… color is nice… and have already noticed that the beige color seems cooler… doesn’t get as hot or radiate as much heat as the black.

Been 2 weeks. No problems. Works!

In June 2015 I surfaced my 6000 square feet driveway in Westchester County NY with the brick red Latex-ite. The result exceeded my expectations, but the effort was also beyond my expectations. Here are some of the lessons I learnt: 1) PREPARATION. I used gap sealer to fill cracks for several weeks before applying the sealant. I used 6 one gallon containers of gap sealer, and had to apply two coatings to many of the gaps. On the day of sealing, I scraped the edging and used a power blower to clear the entire surface. We then used paint brushes to apply 1 tub of the Brick Red sealer to the edges, covering a width of about 6 inches. This took four people a couple of hours. 2) MIXING. I used 42 tubs, each of 4.75 gallons (yes, forty two!). Mixing was easy, because I had the right tools – a Bosch variable speed drill, and a proper mixer (Drum Mixer, 4 1/2 In Dia. High Viscosity) that cost $50. Don’t waste your time with cheap mixers. It took me about one minute to mix each tub. 3) FIRST COAT. Two of us carried/poured the tubs, and the other two of us used an 18 inch rubber squeegee to spread. Don’t use a roller, because it doesn’t fill cracks. We only got about 200 square feet of coverage per tub. That took us 4 hours. It was dry to walk on after another 4 hours, but where it had seeped into cracks, it took up to 48 hours to dry. Where there was an excessive thickness of sealer, it cracked as it dried. We filled the cracks using a paint brush after 48 hours. 4) SECOND COAT. We waited three days before applying the second coat. This took half the effort (two people, 400 square feet per tub, about 4 hours). The surface was OK to drive a vehicle on after about 3 days. The tires on my vehicles picked up a red film for the first week or so. 5) WEATHER. It is difficult to find a window of weather for this job. When I called Dalton, they were very clear about the minimum temperature (55 degrees) and absence of rain for 36 hours. The coating is water soluble, which makes it easy to wash out of your shoes and tools, but it also makes it susceptible to being washed away by a shower of rain. It took us one day for the first coat, three days of hardening, one day for the second coat, and then two days of hardening – a total of 7 days. It is really rare to have a whole week of dry weather on the NorthEast in June! 6) RESULT. I am very pleased with the finished result. The color is more brick than red, but it is fine. The cracks are almost invisible. It cost me $2500 in materials and another $500 in hired labor, but it is worth it. However a rain downpour could have wiped out that $3000 in an hour!

We applied the product today to our 40' x 20' driveway. Driveway was in average to good shape to begin with. It took 3 buckets to finish the job. The product goes on very easliy and covers remarkably well. We did 2 coats and the finished producted looked fantastic. The second coat wasnt needed for color but it made the driveway exceptionally smooth..almost like concrete. If we had to point out anything negative it would be the seperation of chemicals quickly...making stirring a regular chore. Overall the finished product was impressive to say the least...this was verified by the constant parade of vehicles stopping to ask how we did it and to mention how good it looked.

very good result, however the color fades with the snow, I will wait until spring to see the result after a winter

Not much to say , followed instructions for prep . Did a area in front of my garage in late May. Looked great !!! It is now Aug. when I wash my cars on this area in front of garage , The Beige color seems to wash down the driveway .I went online to the Latexalite site , went through the motions to explain what this very expensive product is doing and have not gotten a response.

Oh my goodness!! I wanted more of a cement looking drive. We have blacktop. I bought this and a squeegee. My husband did the prep work degreasing and blow off debris. We stirred this well and dumped it in small areas and spread with squeegee. Put extra in the cracked areas. It came out beautiful!! It sealed as well. I will re review after 6 months. 1 month now and is great! We have a huge drive so it was like $500 to do it all.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. I assume color coating does not sell well in volume, and the product I received must have been sitting for years. It took a gallon of water per five gallon bucket just to get it to turn with a high power drill (dried caulk like). Just go black, and pay half the cost of this junk.
