Concrete Stain - Slate - Semi-Opaque Topical Stain for Wood, Concrete, Stone, Tile, Decks, Floors, Cement, Porches, Brick, and More - Decorative Color Stains (1 Gallon)

Great product Glad I found this product. I had a patio put in 2 years ago with cheap bricks from Home Depot. Over the winter the bricks lost their color and looked awful. I found this stain it was easy to paint on (water base) After that I put a coat of sealant. It was beautiful and a year later still looks great.

I used the Tuscan color on my cement patio walls and floor. It’s a beautiful color that really transformed the area to feel like a little paradise, and it accentuates all the colors of flowers and plants perfectly. The stain is very easy to use and clean up, is sort of watery so a little goes a long way, but it still covers well. I am so happy with the results that I am planning to purchase more in another color for my other patio. Finally, shipping was prompt and the stain was well packaged.

This product was unusable. It was a can of water with a large amount of clumped up paint in it. Was not a stain at all and completely unusable. I stirred this for 20 minutes and realized it wasn’t helping so I took it to the local hardware store to have them put it in a paint mixer/shaker. Left of there for 20 minutes. Drove it home and still looked like this. Waste of time and money.

My foundation is a year old. I'm a DIYer building a cabin in the woods. I wanted the look of something that has always been there, but also new/modern. I plan to install black, vertical exterior siding. The original block was regular split face concrete block. I wanted something that would tone that down. I looked at many options over the winter including paint and oil based stains. I happened to come across Americrete - Black.Since the ground dirt had splashed up on my block, I had to do a basic pressure washing to clean that out. I used a Hudson sprayer with the two gallons mixed into one batch for consistency. The color from the can is a gray/blue color. I was concerned at first, but did a test spray and realized it does set up as black/gray. I set the nozzle to be greater than a fine mist. Use even strokes for the application. Don't unevenly saturate the surface. It's a little bit forgiving. I didn't brush it in, but the block is already very coarse in texture. I coated a 42'x12'x5' foundation with one gallon. Used an additional half gallon over the entire space once again. I seems to have darkened just a little more after the first 24 hours.I'm very pleased with the outcome and ease of application. As far as durability.....only time will tell. So far, I'm extremely satisficed with the results. Hence the number of photos provided.

The media could not be loaded. Easy to use. Turned out nice used three colors

As you can see by the pictures, I was staining some really old, faded brickwork. I just used a small roller and paint tray, not wanting my sprayer to make a mess. I did all this with still an inch or so left in the only gallon I bought! ( wanted to make sure the color was good for me before buying alot) I felt the brick red color was spot on, at least to me. Obviously, I'm not done yet, a roller just won't get into every nook n cranny, brushwork will take care of that. Dries fast, but can be wiped up with a wet cloth if you drip some, easy clean up with soap n water, although I just tossed the roller pad, it was done.

I have a 16-ft gazebo sitting on a 18 ft octagon pad. Consists of about 270 ft considering the sides. A gallon of this put on which an HVLP sprayer covered about 200 ft. . Also will likly need a light second coat. I had to order another gallon.Got my second gallon and applied the whole thing. So 2 gallons covers a 270 square foot gazebo concrete pad satisfactorily. It also does not have the metallic,shimmering effect that is shown in the color samples on Amazon. Hopefully the wet look sealer I'm going to apply will add some depth in effect . It's an okay, nice looking stain but does not go very far. At the pricier end of the scale for a gallon I think there must be better choices out there.Just thought I'd let anybody knows considering this so you know how much to buy.Also... if you order be prepared to wait a while. Each gallon took a week and a half to two weeks to arrive.

I love to do DIY projects so I really enjoyed the before and after on this one. From start to finish, the coating process was easy to install and turned out gorgeous. Like the manufacturer says, this product penetrates the surface for a tenacious bond and creates a beautiful hue of color. I am a bit of a perfectionist, so I looked at all of their installation instructions before my boyfriend and I applied the stain. I highly recommend doing this so you have good adhesion to the substrate. It also said on their application instructions not to apply over a failing substrate so be sure to take that into account and do the proper prep instructions if necessary. Luckily the deck we have felt like 100 grit sandpaper so we properly cleaned and degreased the surface so the material bonded well to the deck. I recommend this product for anyone that wants to beautify driveways, pool decks, architectural designs, natural stone, stamped concrete, walkways, etc. If you have heavy foot traffic, it is probably best to use a clear sealer over the top. I called these guys up and they said eventually they will release a clear sealer for additional protection over the stain. Great guys and amazing product for the weekend warrior!
