Same story as everyone else, followed all instructions and had the area cleaned, after 2 weeks I decided to give it a clean with a garden hose and it started peeling.... this is an absolute joke, yes it's money wasted but I am more p*ssed about the time spent doing it and most of all having to painfully peel all the leftover paint off aroung the… Read more
pool area because we cant use chemicals or bring sanding machines in.. DON'T BUY THIS TRASH, AND A BIG SCREW U TO BUNNINGS FOR RECOMMENDING IT!!
This product is not fit for purpose. It is not a garage floor paint. It has very poor adhesion and peels off. Even after six weeks of cure time tyres leave marks. I can NOT recomend this product. Show details

Regret painting over the top of my patio tiles with this rubbish. I followed the guidelines and within 2 weeks it started to peel. When it rained it completely lifted and I was scraping the stuff off. All I do now is go around with a small paintbrush filling in the bits that have worn off. Less than 12 months old and I have to look into repainting the whole patio. With another product. Do not waste your time or money. Show details

NOTE. THIS REVIEW WAS POSTED ON THE BUNNINGS WEB SITE AND IT WAS NOT ALLOWED TO BE PUBLISHED. Absolute Product Failure. These products are expensive and promise performance well beyond their ability. I bought 12 litres of product over a period of 6 months to use on concrete surfaces. The over all price was over $600. I had something special… Read more
in mind for one location, a covered porch. Photo #1. I followed the instructions to the letter. I finally commenced the special project in April 2024, It took over 6 weeks for the right weather conditions with at least 2 weeks without rain even though the porch is covered.
To be clear I had already done a few other areas a couple of months before which were not covered and these had failed but I put this down to less than optimal weather conditions.
I was obsessive about the porch project the preparation precisely followed the instructions. When it was finished it was vibrant and looked very good, Photo #1 and Photo #2 but it quickly lost brightness, the actual paint was deteriorating far quicker that anyone would reasonably expect.
Eventually just over 12 months peeling everywhere. Noted is the grey border, shown in Photo #1 is still shiny and vibrant, an ordinary house paint, that has lasted and is not showing any signs of age.
I wasted an inordinate amount of time preparation using all White Knight preparation products only to be let down by poor quality products.

Poor Quality, Does not adhere and lifts after you drive your car on it. Service from Manufacturer extremely poor. Dont Buy this stuff. After spending $250 on this product as advised by Bunnings as the best option for my Garage floor. I am very disappointed. Floor was prepared as per the instructions, Professional painter applied, Waited 10 days… Read more
to cure and then one week later it lifted due to tire heat. This product is a rip off and when I went to White night seeking advice they fobbed me off.
Dont buy this product. Seek alternatives

Terrible product that shouldn't be for sale – Applied to driveway according to instructions. 2 months later and it has completely bubbled everywhere and is flaking off. It appears only about 25% of the paint adhered. I'm down $750 and 3 days of my life. DO NOT BUY Show details

I bought this product after being unable to find an alternative product locally. When my husband was painting it on I checked out the reviews and after seeing the bad ones thought ‘uh-oh’. We used one coat on our pavers but laid it on fairly thick… Read more · 1
because the pavers were porous. Four weeks on and we’re very pleased with the result - the porous nature of the pavers meant that the finish looks clean rather than painted which I didn’t want. We’ve wheeled a number of heavy wood loads over them with no wear damage whatsoever.
Follow-up · After 12+ months the finish is still excellent. We’ve been dog sitting two golden retrievers who are full of energy and when they play fight they charge around and wrestle on the paved area. Despite the amount of fur they leave all over the pavers which requires regular blowing, sweeping and pressure washing, the paint is still as good as the day we applied it.

Used this on my concrete outdoor table. Sanded and etch primed surface. Applied four thick coats White Knight Ultra Pave with a high quality microfibre roller. Absolutely thrilled with the finish. Show details · 1
Product did required job – I used White Knight Ultra Pave… for the first time on a concrete floor adjacent to a timber floor… there was a slight gap… which l filled with filler… can’t remember type…. Sanded the whole area… sealed it all with a concrete sealer.. left it to dry for a couple days… Then applied Ultra Pave with a roller about a 12mm nap.. let that dry for a few… Read more · 2
days… gave the whole area a light etching removed any dust… and applied the second coat of Ultra Pave Paint with roller… let it dry for a few days… without ever touching it or walking on it… Floor ended up with a nice glossy finish… and has been walked on… danced on… furniture moved on… Beer. Tea. Coffee. Food . Spilt on it… Labrador playing with his toys on it… and bathing in his shell plastic pool on it… And to be honest the product has withstood all this and is still sound and glossy in appearance… and I’m only a DIY man… it was applied to an outside covered area… would use White Knight Paint Again….
White Knight Ultra Pave Heavy Duty – I recently bought through Bunnings the White Knight Ultra Pave Heavy Duty. After reading through the instructions on their web site and the negative comments here, I realise why the product has worked well for me. https://www.whiteknightpaints.com.au/products/paving/white-knight-ultra-pave/paint/white-knight-ultra-pave-heavy-duty/ The main… Read more · 1
reason is my concrete floor's surface isn't smooth, it was lightly sanded when poured and has a texture like 180ish grit sandpaper. I didn't need to etch it beforehand.
I did use an ordinary 3-in-1 primer on the bare concrete, and forgot to add the turps for the first coat, but mainly followed the instructions.
When I look closely at the finish, it still has that 180 grit look to it. The paint has simply adhered and added another layer to the surface, it still has that course look.
It looks great and feels good under feet. I use the space as a workshop, and don't drive cars onto it. Let's see how it goes in 6 months time after more foot traffic and moving machinery on wheels over it.
Negative reviews
Bought this product from Bunnings who advised me how to apply it to a concrete pavers (i bought sample in to show them). I applied after pressure cleaning the front porch. Applied as per instructions. Waited 36hrs before applying second coat and left it yo cute for 6 days. 7 day it rained and it's now peeling off. Very disappointed . I should have read reviews before I bought it. I suggest not to buy this product. (UltraPave).

White Knite Ultra Pave Heavy Duty Formula Garage Floor Paint. Bought 20 litres in OCT 2021. I didn't get around to write a review but I do have time to do it now. Painted the concrete floor with this product and followed all instructions, right after I purchased it in OCT 2021. Cleaned and Etched it first. Concrete surface was never painted… Read more
before. Dilution 10%, exactly as recommended. It lasted approximately two weeks before it started peeling off. Result is ultra bad. Location is Brisbane North. Woodford QLD. Don't buy this product. Customer care will shift off responsibility. Paint is peeling off even if you park motorcycles on it. It's an ongoing problem.

This product is substandard. I wanted to paint my patio floor. I bought it from my local paint shop and was told that I did not need a primer. They highly recommended the product. Concrete was very clean and dry and had no imperfections when the paint was applied and I applied two coats - to be certain of good coverage- with a wait period between.… Read more
Within weeks the paint had lifted in places - despite best care. Very difficult to clean. A year later it looks a mess. Now, I don't want to go back to this paint shop because I don't trust what they tell me. Is it because I am female and they see me coming?

Please do not buy this product! I concrete grinded my previously painted patio back to raw, porous concrete, pressure washed it and allowed it to dry THOROUGHLY!

adhesion. 2nd coat was applied within the prescribed period. After 3 weeks the product began to lift, peel and cracked EVERYWHERE. Comes off easily when hosed and definitely doesn't like it when the clouds roll in. I look at this patio everyday and I'm reminded of how much time and money I spent on it to have it looking great for less than 3 weeks. The Rep came out, took some paint chip samples and sent them off to the lab, the result of which pointed the finger of blame squarely at me and an apparently non-compatible substance found to be in my perfectly prepared concrete patio. Shock HORROR, that substance was PVA! I am a professional painter and have run a very successful and reputable painting business for over 25 years. I have never ever know, for the life of me or other painters that have traded for over 50 year, for PVA, to cause a water-based paint product to react in such a way. The garbage and excuses from the rep and PPG are borderline criminal. Just a bunch of money grabbing dogs! Bunnings, shame on you for selling and recommending this crap. My patio looks horrendous thanks to Ultra Pave, quite possibly the worst concrete/paving paint in existence!!! Me angry!!

Rubbish! – Should have read these reviews before purchasing at Bunnings. Repainted driveway and followed all instructions as directed. Left to dry for 7 days before driving on surface. Reversed out next morning to discover paint lifted under all four tyres. So disappointed and frustrated. So much effort for absolutely crap result. Now have to work out how to fix the problem. Waste of time, effort and energy!!!!! Show details

TAKING WHITE KING TO COURT – I am a professional painter, and this paint is the worse paint i have ever use? My client requested I use this paint to paint their newly laid concrete pathway. Even though it was NEW concrete that had cured for 6 weeks, I still degresed, acid washed & etched primed the concrete. I also used the required primer before the paint was laid done. … Read more
The paint is pure rubbish! Do not buy this rubbish. Bubbling occured within 24 hours. It simply does not stick?!?!
I have NEVER experienced anything like this from a paint before. I have used all kinds of paints and all kinds of qualities, from the cheap cheap to the most premium. This paint is way worse than the cheapest paint I have ever used.
Pure trash. False advertising. Does not do what they claim.
My client & I are in the process of making a legal claim against white king for their false claims. I am glad we took video recordings of all the preprep & have documentation of the time the concrete was poured. Irrefutable evidence that white king are bunch or liars!

Poor quality – Even with thorough preparation and drying time the paint lifts off when the car has been parked there for about 24 hrs. Terrible paint. I have had no problems with Dunlops paving paint previously. I only picked this because I wanted white. Do not buy it. Show details

Does not adhere properly regardless the surface is correctly prepared – I'm a professional painter but this job was for myself at home so I spent even more time correctly preping the surface and applying the coats. It looked fantastic for a couple of months but after a few gentle hosings (area is concrete verandah and pathways boarded with gardens) I noticed the paint started lifting and washing away :( I first… Read more
thought I must have done something wrong and reviewed the technical specs etc, but I did everything correctly so was confused, disappointed and a bit angry. It was then I came across the Product Reviews describing similar problems so felt better knowing I wasn't alone and hadn't done anything wrong. I'm hoping a product rep with contact me to work out a solution, particularly as I've already used 2 cans and still have the final area to complete with the 3rd can. The surface has previously been painted some years ago with a similar water based paving paint that had faded over time but was still well adhered. Fortunately the new paint was a similar colour so the washed away paint patches don't stand out too much ... see pic uploaded below to see what I mean. Regardless this is still an unacceptable situation.

The paint I wanted was not in stock so I used this paint instead – I prepared and etched the garage concrete floor and did 2 Coates of the (White Knight Ultra Pave). Finish look good, but early days yet.. I wanted to use Berger's jet dry (water based) paint, but Bunnings only stocked the Berger's Oil base paint. So I purchased this paint (White Knight Ultra Pave) on the recommendation of the staff member in the… Read more
Bunnings paint section who told me as long as I made sure to prepare the area correctly, I should be right, and I wouldn't void any warranty. ( I though this was a bit odd to mention warranty, but none the less I purchased and used the White Knight Ultra Pave paint on my garage floor. I found it quite watery in consistency. I did 2 coates with a day in between. Brush washup was quite. After I finished the work I found I had some paint that had dried on my elbow. Though previous experience, this usually takes 3 or 4 showers and some scrubbing before paint comes off....the White knight Ultra Pave came off straight away/very easily, which made me concerned about it's adhesion to the garage floor. I then read the online reviews of this paint which were quite negative...and made me sorry I had not gone elsewhere to buy the Berger's jet dry water based paint that I originally wanted and the words of the Bunnings staff member about ensuring correct preparation is followed echoed in my head. ...anyway the paint covered the floor and it is only been a few weeks but no issues to report yet... I thouhgt it odd that bunnigs stocked Bergers Oil based paint but not he Water based paint....But they do have a lot of the White Knight Ultra pave in stock...and I'm sure, like me a lot of other customers would opted to buy it, rather than take a seperate trip to another paint shop to buy the paint they were originally after *in my case the Berger's jet dry (water based) paint. I hope I don't regret this down the track. The killer is this paint was expensive.

Poor quality product, and just as poor customer service – Bought this product to cover a shed floor, brand new slab that the concrete was only 18 months old when applying this sealer. Followed instructions thoroughly, cleaned, etched etc. Even allowed longer drying times from cleaning as I was in no rush and the weather was perfect. Applied Ultra Pave according to directions, left for 7 days, before… Read more
putting all gear back into the shed. Within a week, the ride on mower and even MTB tyres were peeling the sealer off. No heavy equipment, but a bike tyre! I happened to leave a pair of sneakers on the floor that were slightly moist from watering the garden and upon lifting them up, paint came with them. Spoke directly to the White Knight Rep in my region and was told, my slab must be of poor quality and thats not his problem. AVOID this product.

DONT use the sealer – Paint was great, but the clear sealer (same brand and label) acted like the best paint stripper I’ve ever seen, lifting not only the two coats of the Paint, but also the two layers that were underneath, which I’d guess would be at least 5 to 10 years old. The supplier (PPG, apparently also suppliers of Taubmans and British Paints as well as White… Read more
Knight) passed the issue over to the retailer saying that they were trained in the paints so should have been aware that the sealer was not compatible with the paint. Note that Bunnings were great and tried to help out as much as possible, even contacted area rep for PPG who told them that they would contact us to let us know how to remove the residue……………still nothing from them

Terrible quality product – As many other reviews have mentioned, within weeks this product lifted from my customers garage floor. I prepared the surface as per the manufacturers directions: -sweep and vacuum thoroughly -etch concrete with 10:1 Hydrochloric acid -rinse away acid -allow adequate time for concrete to dry -sweep and vacuum thoroughly again -prime -apply 2… Read more
coats of White Knight Ultra Pave -kept cars off the surface for 7 days
Guess what... the paint still lifted underneath the customers tyres.
Shame on White Knight for allowing this product onto the market, and shame on Bunnings for stocking it.... despite the ongoing terrible reviews (1.6 out of 5 stars as of 20/04/2024).

Washes away – Brick pavers were water pressured cleaned and dried before applying. It had a week of drying. However now any time it rains it is slowing washing away. Worst part is if someone steps on it whilst the pavers are wet they get paint on their feet and leave paint footprints wherever they go. Not happy. Show details

white knight should not be sold or on the market – We painted the block work of a house with it, we primed the house and the paint where exposed to sunlight lifted taking the primer with it.

I would like my money back! – I have used this product on my 2 year old driveway. This August, we pressure washed and allowed to dry. Gave the smoother edges a rough up with wire brushes, cleaned off carefully. Then painted a coat, left for a week, edges already started to peel so we wire brushed the edges again and painted with prepared bondcrete. Did a full second coat. … Read more
Great weather, left for 7 days before using. After just a week again the edges are peeling! I have no idea what to do to get this product to stick. Very distressing! Of course this site keeps rejecting my photo upload attempts.

After many Emails, photos etc, have just been informed that I did… Read more

Regretful choice. Paint peels, flakes and is very dull – We'd previously painted our driveway a couple of times with another brand with 100% no issues (resident since '97). This time around we tried White Knight Ultra Pave® Heavy Duty 10L and bought 20L in total. We followed all the procedures and drying times etc plus additional care to prepping and dry times. The first issues came from the "hot tire"… Read more
peeling so we patched them as they came up. This didn't really help as they just kept continuing to appear wherever the cars parked. Then over the following months, the paint just started peeling and flaking at random spots. Now after some hotter days over the summer, the paint is very dull like it is 20 years old. It is not so much that the job materials cost well over $500, it's that we are not sure how we can repair the full driveway. I really hope that the Manufacturer can reach out to support such a debacle.

Problem with colour chart – The colour chart is totally inaccurate it’s ridiculous. It’s impossible to pick a colour from the colour chart, I picked Wistful Willow it’s a brown on the brochure when the girl mixed the colour up at Bunnings I was gobsmacked at the end result it was a gold/yellow colour I told her I couldn’t buy it the colour was nothing like the one I wanted… Read more
luckily I hadn’t paid for it! Second attempt colour selected was cookie jar another brown it’s more like grey marble now I’ve got it home tried a small it on a small area it I’m back to square one! I’ll be heading back to Bunnings hopefully they can make it darker or adjust the colour nearer to cookie jar. Not off to a good start with this paint I’ll update my review when I’ve rectified my current issues & finished my painted. It’s mind boggling how a colour chart can be so inaccurate I’ve nt encountered this problem with any other brand of paint!
