I recently spilt a fair amount of white gloss paint on my black tarmac drive.

Although I mopped up most of the spill, I still have quite a large white stain left.

What is the easiest way to cover the stain?

I don't sell BlackTop (or any other products) and I don't undertake any installation work, so I won't be quoting you a price.

its like that kenny rodgers song ,"coward of the county" "turn the other cheek etc etc"
luckily i had all my flame wars on usenet in the late 90's and soon realised that you are p!ssing in the wind with some people.
i was doing the cuts today and had 6 unannounced guest/visitors/relatives/nosey neighbours etc.
when i politely mentioned that i would like to crack on and get finished before 4 i was called anti-social
i suppose its a bit like the flag safety thing mentioned below,when at work i dont do childcare,dogwalking,bringing washing in or general amusement for the masses
lol
LLL :)

I've seen the best and worst in people this week - we've been resurfacing all around a retail park and petrol filling station - hell some people are so rude/arrogant/stupid, it defies belief!

It seems they go into their "I'm so important no-one is going to stop or direct me" mode.

Idiots.

I hate having to manage the traffic when we are unloading or doing something that requires us to take over the road for a shortwhile. Not long after i started working, one prat almost ran me over, the big stop sign must not have meant anything to him, untill he came into contact with the hiab on the truck. Needless to say, he didnt get much sympathy from me.

We had a twit on one town centre pedestrianisation scheme that thought he was a "special one". Nowhere to park, but then he noticed 300+ square metres of block paving we'd laid (but handn't jointed), and decided this was set aside specifically for him. So, he ripped down the barrier fencing, drove his snazzy Merc onto our unfinished paving and completely ignored our suggestions that he not park there, relying only with some offensive comments regarding the country of origin and parentage of several of our lads.

Which was a pity, because when he finally came back from his ever-so important bit of shopping, there were 8 bales of 80mm block pavers surrounding his car, and not a "thick bog-trotting paddy" to be seen anywhere - we were all hiding in the caff across the road pissing our sides laughing! :D

There's a certain gentleman on the Wirral that suffered the same fate after ripping me off for the best part of 10G
