We finally got out driveway finished! Woohoo! soo...I'm looking for
info on coating it. What kinds of coatings are available? I'm mostly
interesting in prolonging the life of the driveway. I've seen concrete
here partially exposed to the rain, and the part exposed to the rain
eventually erodes. I'd like to prevent that if possible.

How long after pouring the concrete do I have to wait before coating
it? I've not found a lot of information on this subject, any good
sites or resources that you would recommend?


I would recommend whatever's in there. The job and the mixing is already
done. Concrete continues to age over its life, so it will cure for 100
years. Adding surface coatings interferes with that process.

You got what you got, and there's nothing you can do about it. If you had
wanted color or texture, the time to do it has passed.

I hear Crayola has some awesome new chalk Crayon kits. You could have your
kids of neighborhood kids do a new mural every week.
