DIY Revival of Aged Pool Deck with Antiquing™ Stains
A 62-year-old DIY enthusiast successfully restored her 12-year-old pool deck using Charcoal and Khaki Antiquing™ Stain & EasySeal™ Kits. Despite the old and faded stamped concrete, the deck was transformed in just 4 days with some planning, the right products, and a bit of elbow grease. Tips: Prepare all materials, cover in case of rain, roll and brush stain into crevices, and use a sprayer for even sealer coats. A rewarding project with impressive results!”

- Project Completed In: 4 day(s)
- Estimate of Square Footage: 757 sq. ft.
- Project Description:
Pool deck is stamped concrete gray color with a khaki colored perimeter around pool that was done 12 years ago. We sealed the deck every 2-3 years as we thought the only way to revive the color was painting the stamped concrete which we did not want to do as we wanted to keep the color dimension it had.
When we found the Direct Colors Antiquing Stain and EasySeal Kit it seemed to be the answer for a DYI project to meet our needs and to give the pool deck an uplift.
I ordered 2 Charcoal Antiquing Stain & EasySeal Kits and 1 Khaki Antiquing Stain & EasySeal Kit to see if it would give us the results we wanted. I contacted Direct Colors and spoke to a Rep who answered my questions and reviewed the instructions for prep and application.
I began with the pool perimeter and was impressed as I completed my second coat of stain. After I applied the two coats of sealer I was amazed and impressed with the results! I couldn’t wait to continue my project!
I completed the project with ease in 4 days (the delay was having to wait for my additional order as I wanted to make sure it provided the results that the Direct Colors advertised). As a 62 year old woman this was a fun, easy, and rewarding DYI project that gave us professional results. Our pool deck has been restored to its original color and shine thanks to Direct Colors Antiquing Stain & EasySeal Kit! - Personal Tips:
1. Read all instructions and contact Direct Colors Rep to answer questions or clarify and steps
2. Have all product and materials ready – have a tarp available in case of rain after you stain
3. If stamped concrete has a lot of crevices rolling on stain and brushing works best
4. Sprayer works best to get even coats of sealer
5. Have fun with this project – you can achieve professional results as a DYI - Direct Colors Products Used:

Lanai and Porch Makeover with EasyTint™ Khaki
A DIY makeover of the lanai and connected porch using two coats of Khaki EasyTint™ Satin tinted sealer and a top coat of clear EasySeal™. Despite initial challenges with the pump sprayer and the appearance of uneven application, patience and light multiple coats resulted in a significantly improved and enjoyable patio. Tips: Have a roller handy, apply light coats, and don’t be discouraged by initial imperfections.
Project Info:
- Project Completed In: 3 day(s)
- Estimate of Square Footage: 550 sq. ft.
- Project Description:
Sealed with colored sealer our lanai at the back of the house and a slab we had poured that connected to the lanai and our front porch. All with two coats of the Khaki easy coat tinted sealer and a third/top coat of clear easy coat sealer on top. - Personal Tips:
If using a pump sprayer have someone else use a roller for a fast and even application. Our sprayer stopped working well and we simply rolled which worked fine. We went up and down and back and forth. Multiple very light coats seemed to be the best way to apply. It was our first time using a sealer and we are used to paints and or epoxy so it seemed to us very uneven and it highlighted imperfections in the concrete but as it dried it evened out and looked good. The surface is much better now than before and it’s a very usable and enjoyable patio now.
