    I have a driveway that was badly poured, covered in marks, textures and other problems that need to be sanded and touched up before painting. Can anyone recommend someone that can do this?

    yes I bought one but the floor has a subtle slope to it and I don’t think I have the skills to do it. I think the DIY is best suited to perfectly flat floors.

    I was looking to have 210sqm of driveway resurfaced.....
    40mpa colored concrete sprayed over the existing plain concrete $9,000 !
    I don't "need" it to look that pretty :confused:

    I wouldn't suggest DIY, a proper 2 head/6 stone grinder is a beast best handled by a concretor.
