Surface Bond Asphalt & Concrete Coating
Tired of black asphalt or pedestrian gray concrete? Surface Bond delivers designer color, fast cure, low odor, and industrial durability for driveways, plazas, malls, pool decks, walkways, bike lanes, parking garages, and more.
Beautiful Color + Serious Protection
Surface Bond works on new or old concrete (patterned or flat) and new or old asphalt. It’s ideal for stamped concrete and lasts far longer than typical stains that wear quickly. It’s also a major upgrade over traditional asphalt emulsion coatings that can be smelly, contain high levels of PAHs, and wear off fast.
It cures in just a few hours for same-day or next-day full service. For public commercial areas, downtime and odor matter — Surface Bond solves both while delivering best-in-class durability.
Each kit includes Part A (in a 5-gallon pail for mixing), Part B activator, and a liquid color tint (your choice). Pour all three into the supplied pail to yield 4 mixed gallons, mix with a mud mixer, and apply by roller or spray. Long working time + fast cure makes it ideal for projects where speed matters.
Textured Walkway Example
Stamped Concrete Done in Tile Red
Two coats are the minimum; more coats increase durability and lifespan. We also offer walkway & bike lane greens in two shades designed for high-mileage traffic.

Please note that these are the base colors and many different additional colors can be made by mixing various base colors together.
Coverage will vary according to type of surface, texture of surface and age of surface. Coverage will average about 275 sf/ 4 gal pail. If using the textured roller figure 225 sf/4 gal pail. Coverage may vary depending on surface texture, condition, porosity and application thickness.
We recommend two coats for pedestrian traffic and light vehicle traffic, three coats for heavy vehicle traffic such as commercial parking areas or public roadways and traffic crossings. Goes on at an average of 9 mils per coat dried film thickness. Up to five coats can be applied!
ArmorGarage Surface Bond is easy and straight forward to install. Surface must be clean and dry. A good leaf blower and stiff bristled broom is normally all that is needed for asphalt surfaces. Vigorously broom surface to loosen dirt to be blown away.
Very dirty or large surfaces can be power washed. If power washing allow sufficient dry time. If there are vehicle fluids in the surface they must be removed. Oil stains can be scrubbed out with Liquid Tide and Muriatic Acid and then thoroughly rinsed, be sure to allow enough time for the surface to dry completely.
Once surface is cleaned and completely dry make sure temperature will be above 50 for a minimum of 4 hrs after you will be done with application. No rain is allowed for 24 hours.
For asphalt surfaces use the Surface Bond Primer unless asphalt is new and stable. Apply Surface Bond after Primer is dry to the touch, about 45 minutes. When coating over concrete, bricks or pavers, primer isn't rquired but recommend to increase adhesion. If coating over stamped concrete use a 1/2"-3/4" Nap Roller.
If coating over concrete, concrete must be 28 days or older and all concrete surfaces must be acid washed at the rate of 1 gallon of muriatic acid mixed with 3 gallons of water for every 300 sf of surface. Wet surface, scrub in diluted acid solution with stiff resin broom or pool brush. Allow to sit for 5-6 minutes and then rinse off thoroughly. We recommend neutralizing with 1lb of TSP powder for every 1000 sf as a final rinse. Allow concrete to dry to the touch.
Application of Surface Bond is the same for asphalt and concrete. Surface Bond is a one component product. Add 1 pint of color per 5 gal unit. Mix with the Surface Bond Metal mixer for 3-4 minutes to ensure color is even distributed. If applying in very hot temperatures you may add a small amount of water to thin and extend working time.
Once thoroughly mixed. Roll on with 3/8" lint free rollers or use the Surface Bond roller for an orange peel type textured finish. This coating can be applied with a flat squeegee, it can be rolled, sprayed and broomed. Depending on the surface. Stamped concrete is best sprayed and broomed or can be squeegeed and broomed. Just maintain the recommended coverage rate.
Allow each coat to dry fully to the touch before applying next coat. Recoat time is 30-45 minutes and Dry time for final coat is 1-3 hours depending on temperature and humidity. Roll on second coat perpendicular to first coat. When spraying the coating over a patterned surface use a broom to work the coating in and to distribute the coating evenly, see image below. The final coat on a nonpatterned surface can be sprayed and rolled instead of brooming. Applying each layer perpendicular to the previous coating will ensure a more even finish.
DO NOT APPLY TO ASPHALT OR CONCRETE THAT HAVE BEEN SEALED UNLESS SEALER IS COMPLETELY REMOVED. IF WATER SPRINKLED ON THE SURFACE BEADS UP OR DOESN'T ABSORB INTO THE ASPHALT OR CONCRETE WITHIN A FEW SECONDS IT MEANS IT HAS BEEN SEALED.
The images below are from two different projects and the one is little blurry but you get the idea of applying over bricks and pavers. One guy is spraying while the other guys is working the coating into the pattern with a broom. Smooth surfaces can be simply rolled on. Rough surfaces can use a squeegee and a high nap roller. It's really a very easy product to apply.
Here's a job where the surface was rough textured asphalt on a driveway so they did the intial spreading with a squeegee and then back rolled with a roller to even out the coating.

Surface Bond requires little to no maintenance. Normal clean up can be done with a garden hose and a product such as Simple Green if needed to remove heavily soiled spots. TSP can be used to remove oil & grease stains. For municipal streets, street cleaners must have nylon rotary brushes. Power washing is ok, use no more than 2000psi. Gum may be removed by first freezing it and then chipping off.
When Surface Bond needs to be recoated it can be done at anytime, just clean and dry the surface and reapply. If concrete stamping has worn out then restamp prior to reapplication of Surface Bond.
During Fall foliage season care should be taken to remove leaves before they start to decompose. Lighter color leaves left on surface for extended periods of time can cause staining on any coating.
DO NOT APPLY OVER ASPHALT SEALERS
