Driveway concrete repair experts..

[RiverDave]

Should he stated right off the bat I’m not mad.. myself and friends drink a little bit and we had one crazy night..

Unfortunately my driveway is looking a little rough now.. lol

Is there anyway to fix this other than busting out the slabs and replacing? And if I do that, is there anyway to even kinda halfway make it match?

There’s two spots on two pads where a one wheel wonder burned holes through the top of it.. It was a hell of a burn out though.. lol. Or rather burnouts.

 

[Joker]

Nothing you do will make it better. You can either look at that or a patch of material that won’t match the concrete surrounding that area.

 

[mjc]

Leave them they add character.

 

[Ziggy]

Hold my beer and watch this...lol

 

[rivergames]

couple options

-Get fucked up tonight and add more around the rest of the driveway to match

-Fill the hole with a patch and then color coat the whole driveway with a stain or epoxy resin topcoat

 

[Nordie]

Nothing will ever match. Might be able to do an overlay, or have the driveway ground a little bit to mask it.

Give it a summer and some pressure washing and it won't look as bad.

 

[outboard_256]

I say 10 more of those around the drive way and it will look good.

I’d just line up the cars again and do another round of burnouts. That way no one knows that you and your friends can’t do a real burnout.

 

[Nordie]

The question is why would RD allow a one legged burnout in his driveway? There should be 2 patches there...

Epoxy or Appoxy? Asking for a friend….

 

[Bpracing1127]

Pour a whole new driveway

 

[HNL2LHC]

Hold my Coors LIght and watch this...lol

Fixed it for you Zig!!!!

 

[Nordie]

Fixed it for you Zig!!!!

A little before your time, but it used to be hold my Bud Light Lime and watch this!!!

Engrave the date and event next to it and create your own Grauman's Chinese Theater time line of RDP party's.

Quikrete 40 lb. Concrete Resurfacer 113141 - The Home Depot

But you would only need a tiny bit, you just want to patch the little area. Color probably won't match and it might flake out over time.
Not much you can do to make it disappear.

 

[rivergames]

Epoxy or Appoxy? Asking for a friend….

No Clue what product to use. That would require some investigating to find what would hold up best with the heat.

 

[RiverDave]

Ok.. that’s about what I thought but I was hoping for some kinda miracle cure..

 

[HB2Havasu]

If it’s bothering you why not just bust it all out and replace with concrete paver driveway? Looks so much better than poured concrete!

Now if it was a rental property I would just grind off the rough edges and call it good!

 

[warpt71]

sand and polish the whole driveway?

 

[BHC Vic]

My driveway is pebble tech. Looks nice but damages too

Patchcrete is what we use to patch our slabs and tiltup panels, matching existing concrete is near impossible, if you float the patchcrete out it will "feather-in" kind of like touching up a painted wall, the further out you get the less product is applied and it slowly disappears.

Lyons Manufacturing 45 lb. Bag Powder Kit with Glue - White Cap

Patchcrete is a very versatile product with an outstanding bonding characteristic. It is a two component product, a single unit includes a 45 lbs. bag of powder with a gallon of liquid polymer. It can be applied horizontally, vertically or even overhead. Horizontally, it may be applied from...

you could acid wash it, it will etch it though. ask your pool guy about. my buddy does pools here in so cal and acid washes patios and driveways on the side.

 

[Jim]

It will fade some with time.
Give it a year of weather.

 

[Rayson1971]

Sandblast and seal?

 

[EmpirE231]

With your money, it’s time to rip it all out and put in a travertine driveway. Then if you ever do it again, you replace a few tiles.

 

[Ladsm]

Have a epoxy floor contractor come in with a diamond tip grinder and grind the whole driveway and then seal it. It will expose the rock and add character to it. Maybe work the RDP logo into it as well and write it off as a business expense for advertising.

 

[Activated]

Dawn dish soap and a scrub brush will at least take out the rubber marks.

After that, it might not look so bad.

 

[Yldboyz]

Damn, it must of gotten hot there.

 

[ultra26shadow]

Just put a big RDP decal and Toy Syndicate logo on top of it like you did at your shop

 

[BingerFang]

Rookie move... Always do burnouts in the street Dave!!!

 

[Nordie]

Sandblast and seal?

This isn't a bad idea actually

 

[Desert Whaler]

It's like a Coyote Paw Print in a Saltillo Paver . . . it's considered good luck !

 

[gqchris]

Looks like the spot I have on mine where my drunk dumbass lit some fireworks on a 4th of July without any bottom protection. Im sure heat is the same culprit. Shit never has come out 4 years later!

RD, get a hold of a local water proof deck contractor and tell him you are interested in the "Life Deck AL system" as an overlay.
It's a lightweight concrete mixed with 100% acrylic and adheres to just about anything including the trowels putting it down. They should be able to patch the holes and then do the texture coat over the whole driveway. Skip the final color coat so that you won't have to worry about maintenance.

Lol, that was a short lived addiction before remarrying the Silver Bullets

 

[Icky]

Must've been a Ford burn out, a dodge would've torn out the whole driveway

I did some a few years back, did some with taped lines as well, gives the finish look of sandstone pavers. Different ways and looks to get. Some "cool deck" types as well.

At some point the coating will get gouged and he’s going to be right back where he is now.

2" asphalt overlay.

 

[Bobby V]

Put a RDP sticker to cover it like you did at your warehouse.

 

[throttle]

@Havaduner and @Hammer left some burns like that in my driveway years back too. a good scar and some fun stories. just ignore them, they fade over time... a long time, like 15 years.

 

[240Hallett]

Cut out a strip all the way across and do a paver ribbon.

 

[Cole Trickle]

Billet RDP inlay that covers the area......lol

 

[pixrthis]

Time for stone ribbons throughout the driveway

 

[bonesfab]

My van does a better burn out than that. Fucking weak..

Lol I didn’t do it, or there’d be two tracks.

It wasn't me!

 

[DaveH]

there are companies that have machines to grind it down (the entire driveway). will look brand new once complete. probably take a 1/16th or more out of it.
