How to Apply Outdoor Concrete Stain

Learn how to choose the best outdoor concrete stain for stamped concrete such as concrete patio and concrete driveways

Concrete Antiquing Stain can be applied with a pump-up fence, deck sprayer, spray bottle, foam brushes or sponges. Stir or shake vigorously before application, and regularly agitate the mixture to prevent settling.

Depending on the desired finish, apply the Concrete Antiquing Stain evenly onto the surface. On stamped or textured concrete, the fluid will flow into the crevices and indentations of the surface. For smooth concrete, spray more in the areas where additional accents or shadowing is desired. Two or more Concrete Antiquing Stain colors can be used to build color on the surface or to produce a more diverse affect. Let the first coat to dry completely before applying additional coats and/or colors. Allow to dry for a minimum 5-6 hours.Apply concrete sealer

For 4 oz. size applications, apply the Concrete Antiquing Stain with a foam brush or spray bottle to either a sample board or directly to the project area. After you've completed the testing have selected a color, simple remove the sample sections with soap and water.

All decorative concrete surfaces must be sealed with a quality concrete sealer to maintain their color and general appearance over time. For best results with Concrete Antiquing Stain, sealers should be either sprayed on or carefully applied with a short napped roller. Depending on exposure to sun, temperature and general weather conditions, the average acrylic topcoat sealer will last 2-3 years outdoors and if well maintained with a concrete wax, indefinitely indoors

My concrete slab is very smooth as it's for a garage floor. Will I have issues getting the stain to have character like you're achieving with the textured concrete? The more character the better.
