Product Details

Are you unsure which color or finish is the best choice for your concrete coloring project? Direct Colors' Vibrance™ Dye Trial Kit makes it easy to test out different options before committing to a full-size purchase. This trial kit includes three different Vibrance™ Dye colors, as well as a choice of one sealer finishe in 4 oz sizes. You'll also receive a foam application brush and a 5 oz dye sprayer applicator, everything you need to test out different combinations and find the perfect look for your home.

It is important to note that the included sealer is a crucial part of the process and must be used to see the true final color of the dye. Most customers who skip sealing and complain about not seeing any color simply need to use the sealer to make the actual color pop.

With the Vibrance™ Dye Trial Kit, you can experiment with different shades and finishes on various surfaces around your home to see how they look in different lighting and under different conditions. It's the perfect way to find the perfect match for your unique style and needs. And with the support and guidance of the team at Direct Colors, you can feel confident in your final decision. Try out the Vibrance™ Color Trial Kit today and take the guesswork out of your concrete coloring project.

Quick Facts

  • Application Tool: Foam applicator for sealer & 5-ounce dye sprayer applicator (acetone not included)
  • Dry Time: 4-6 hours before applying sealer
  • Cleanup: Acetone
  • Coverage: Approximately 5 sq. ft. per 4-ounce bottles depending on concrete porosity
  • Recommended Uses: Home office, basement, kitchens, living areas, bathrooms and even countertops. Concrete Dyes are also great for stenciling and adding accents to concrete stains
  • Trial Kits are non-returnable & non-refundable


Using the Vibrance™ Dye Trial Kit is easy! Follow these steps to test out different color options on your surfaces:

  1. Prepare your concrete surface by sweeping away any debris and cleaning with an organic degreaser. Rinse thoroughly and allow the surface to dry completely.
  2. Put on a dust mask, goggles, and safety gloves. The acetone in the concrete dye can cause skin irritation and damage your eyes if used improperly.
  3. Mix the acetone with the concrete dye powder of your choice inside the provided dye sprayer applicator. Shake the mixture vigorously until the pigment is fully dispersed.
  4. Use the sprayer to coat the concrete surface with a layer of the dye mixture. Add extra layers to darken the surface as desired, making sure to shake the sprayer often to avoid clumps.
  5. Once you're satisfied with the shade achieved, it's time to seal the surface. Use the foam application brush to spread the sealer evenly across the newly colored concrete surface, applying thin layers and allowing each coat to dry for up to 24 hours before adding additional coats. 
  6. Allow the final coat of sealer to dry for at least 24 hours before walking on the surface or using it for its intended purpose.
It is important to note that sealing the surface is essential to seeing the true final color of your project and to ensure that the colorant is properly protected. Following these steps will help you achieve beautiful and vibrant results with your Vibrance Dye Color Trial Kit.

How-To Guide

Printable Vibrance™ How-To Guide

Step 1: Preparation

  • Cover areas at risk of over-spray with plastic drop cloth.
  • Newly poured concrete must cure for 30 days before application.
  • For existing concrete:
    • Remove paint or previously applied sealer using Soy Gel Stripper.
    • Remove carpet glue or other adhesives using Bean-E-Doo® Mastic Remover.
    • Remove any oils, dirt, debris, Soy Gel Stripper, and Bean-E-Doo® Mastic Remover using scrub brush and ProClean Degreaser™.
  • Verify absorption by pouring a cup of water in various areas. If not absorbed within five minutes, etch surface with CitrusEtch™, then neutralize surface with ProClean Neutralizer™ and rinse thoroughly.
  • Allow concrete to thoroughly dry before application.

Step 2: Application

Coverage rate is approximately 150 square feet per gallon. Coverage rates may vary based on concrete texture, surface porosity, and application method.

NOTE: Only apply Vibrance™ when surface temperature is between 40 °F (4 °C) and 95 °F (35 °C).

CAUTION: Acetone is extremely flammable, harmful if swallowed, or inhaled. Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Store and use with adequate ventilation, allowing airflow to disperse vapors. Before applying Vibrance™, open windows and doors and extinguish all open flames such as gas appliance pilot lights, candles, etc. Do not smoke, use a lighter or matches, or anything that could cause a potential spark.

Mixing:

  • Mix Ratio: 152 grams of Vibrance™ powder with one gallon of acetone makes one gallon of Vibrance™
  • Pour Vibrance™ into a can of acetone.
  • Tightly seal lid and shake vigorously for 20 seconds.
  • Allow mixture to sit for one hour.
  • Remove all filters from Acetone Dye Sprayer.
  • Shake Vibrance™ well before pouring into sprayer.

Spraying:

  • Begin spraying at a far corner to maintain a clear path to exit.
  • Spray Vibrance™ on surface in slightly circular motions with irregular overlaps.
    • Shake sprayer tank from side to side often to prevent color from settling.
    • Spray thin coats to avoid puddling.
  • To develop deeper color, apply additional coats (maximum of four thin coats).
    • Allow eight hours between coats.
    • Apply additional coats following same method.
    • Dry for at least eight hours before applying a sealer.
    • Use a dust mop or microfiber mop very lightly to remove excess Dye not bonded to surface.

Step 3: Seal & Protect Finish

  • Apply two thin coats of sealer with AcquaSeal™ or EasySeal™.
    • For interior only: Also apply two thin coats of ProWax Polish™.
  • For additional application instructions see AcquaSeal™, EasySeal™, and ProWax Polish™ How-To Guides.

Pro Tips:

  • To avoid droplets dripping onto surface: before releasing sprayer trigger, immediately place tip in a bucket
  • For porous or weathered surfaces, apply a single thin coat of AcquaSeal™ or EasySeal™ before using Vibrance™.

Cleanup:

  • Clean tools and supplies with acetone.

Maintenance:

  • For exterior: Protect finish every two years or as needed, using AcquaSeal™ or EasySeal™.
  • For interior: Protect finish every two years with ProWax Polish™ or spot treat high-traffic areas as needed.
  • For additional application instructions see AcquaSeal™, EasySeal™, and ProWax Polish™ How-To Guides.
