Plenty of them out there Tony, mate of mine had to go bust over an extension as the client would not pay on time. think multi national contractor with 90 day payments.

I know exactly where your coming from, should have a program called rogue customers. I have used most of the paint products and you will have to wait three months for the tarmac to cure.

I`m sure it will peel off due too the oils in fresh tarmac.

I really wouldn't do anything to it just yet, it will fade/wash/wear with use and oxidise with the summer sunshine that is around the corner.

I agree it will fade and but it seems time is not on your side. I don't think people realise that when you lay tarmac, you get all sorts of marks, they expect it to be all the same colour ie jet black,

True, my opinion only but Tarmacadam is a specified product used on all roads etc and as such is designed to withstand all sorts of abuse but will never be a thing of beauty.

Not an option Dave as in the mean time I remain unpaid.

Interesting developments have taken place with this regarding a 3rd party opinion, I'm looking into this in more detail before I post any thing further.
