A MAN has left people with their jaws on the floor after proudly sharing his epic driveway makeover.
As is starting to warm up, with Brits kicking off their in , millions of households are looking to spruce up their homes and .
After the long and harsh , our driveways, too, are in a dire need of some TLC – whether that means or replacing the area altogether.
However, if you're on a tight budget and or don't want to fork out thousands for a new driveway, one thrifty man has come to rescue with the perfect solution.
Alun James, who lives in , , took to to demonstrate how a lick of paint gave his old, grubby driveway a brand new look for just £30.
According to the Welsh lad, all he used for the was a pot of Drive Seal black coating that's ideal on tarmac and concrete driveways, paths and garage floors.
The find, which is currently available for a mere £23 for a 5L can, restores the surface of old tarmac driveways and paths without any faff.
What's more, not only will the area look fresh, the special coating also protects against weather damage, staining and fungal growth, the listing claimed.
As well as covering existing stains, the Drive Seal also works wonders to resist any oil grease and dirt, one one litre of the product is said to be enough to cover 6 m2.
Those keen to spruce up their driveways this season should be warned that the low odour coating takes 18 hours to dry fully.
But as Alun's post proved – the waiting time will be totally worth it.
Sharing the jaw-dropping glow-up on the popular DIY On A Budget Official, he said: ”Painted our concrete drive. It now looks like fresh tarmac. Really happy with result. 30 quid.”
And it's not just the Welsh lad who loved the results – users, too, couldn't get over the difference, with the post racking up a whopping 1.5k likes.
Close to 260 fellow DIY lovers flooded to comments in total disbelief, with one fan writing: ”I would never have the patience but it looks good.”
Another agreed, writing: ”Looks great! Hell of a difference. Well done.”
Someone else was also raving over the bargain find, commenting: ”I used that on my patio mate bargain all though I opened the tin and didn’t think it would be any good as it was thin but works a dream.”
”I asked if anyone had done this the other week on here and everyone took the Micky out of me. Thanks for putting it on it looks brill,” a fourth chimed in.
After his post went viral, Alun added that the Drive Seal ”didn't cover like paint does” and ”soaked into the concrete”.
”So I think it might last but maybe will fade colour.”
While many were keen to snap up the coating in different hues, including grey, the DIY fan noted that he had only seen the product in black.
