Stained - 09/07/2021

Three to four coats

The stain overall is good, just not sure what is the point in having 'black' and 'charcoal' as choices when in order to get the concrete anywhere near black, it took so many applications. Let black be black and the lighter greys be lighter. I would have thought two coats of black stain would get it quite dark, but not really. Other than that, I am pleased with the process and outcome after a second gallon was purchased and applied

Color was off considerably

I ordered Aztec brown to re-stain a patio that was previously brown but had faded. I cleaned and power washed it a week before. The stain went on fine and recolored the patio. However, the color is more like redish purple or maroon. It's fine for my back patio. However, I was also going to redo my front walk. This color will not work at all for the front walk. Disappointed the color was so far off from the pictures on the website.

Overall Very Satisfied

We had a old stamped concrete slab that was a faded brick red color...it was just plain ugly! I figured I'd have to go pretty dark to cover the red. I chose to go with Yukon Gold and Aztec Brown. I brushed on both colors in random blocks. I was surprised how well the Yucon Gold covered. I was not as impressed on the Aztec Brown coverage-allot of red still pulled through. In the end I'm pretty satisfied with the end result!!! I would love to share my pictures but I don't see the option to do so.

Not for old stamped concrete

If the smoothness if worn off the stamped concrete you will not get the original effect using this product. Color will be blotchy and inconsistent.

Used two gallons chocolate to freshen up my 12 tear old ribbon on my driveway, sidewalk/porch. Pressure washed to prep and that was it. Applied at 4:1 ratio with stain and allowed to dry 5 hours and then reapplied 2nd gallon of stain. Waited 6 hours then applied 1st coat of solvent based satin sealer. Came back next morning and applied 2nd coat of sealer. Looks a little darker than I thought but overall looks much better. Will see how it holds up after a few years! Nice product.

Easy to apply. Applied the stain overexisting stamped and stained concrete driveway accent. It did not appear to enhance or color the concrete. However, once i applied the sealer the color popped and dried to an attractive antiqued finish that looks better than the original finish.

WoW! We look like pros!

Very easy to use. Dries fast. Be patient because it looks very dry until you seal it, then it comes to life! Our stamped concrete looked very orange and faded, so we wanted to "brown it down". We used Café Royal and gave the edges 2 coats to darken it more. My husband and I did it ourselves and it sure made us proud! We look like pro's!!!

Amazing - Take it from me a concrete pro

Been staining concrete for over 20 years and my fellow concrete pro buddies have told me about Direct Colors for over a decade but I kept buying from the same company for years. With COVID it seems like you’re the only company that has the products I needed (guess cause you manufacture them). Ordered this stain, along with many other products for two new jobs. Now I feel like a big fool…. I can’t believe the quality of your products compared to what I’ve been using for years. Not only is the price great but now I understand what my buddies meant when saying use Direct Colors, its all professional grade, and the end result will help me land more jobs. I’m now a believer and will only purchase your products from now on.

We did the floor using Liquid Colored Antique Concrete Stain and DCI Water Based Sealer over the weekend. It looks like a pro came in and did it. The cost savings was $1000’s. We will be posting the video in a few weeks on youtube. It’s in editing and production now. We did not receive any discount or free material from Direct Colors. Nor would we except them. You are getting a true DIY review. As of now it looks like a $7,000 floor. We are very pleased.. thanks again.

I finally have my patio together. I cannot explain in words how much your support helped my husband and I fix our first failed attempt with the acid stain. If you recall, my concrete was previously acid etched so the acid stain did not react. You directed us to try the Liquid Antique Concrete Stain which we did and this magical stain color came out perfectly matching the tone of my brick that we wanted. Thank you again so much and I hope you can use these pictures for your site and spread them like wildfire because you guys are awesome!


Why Trust Verified Reviews?

Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.

Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.

As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:

Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.

Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.

So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
