- Project Description:
We wanted colored concrete for the middle section of our driveway. We selected a color from the concrete company, a color that was supposed to match the stained wood accents on the front of the house. Once is was all dry, the color was more light peach colored than the rich brown we were hoping for. Fast forward a few years and I found Direct Colors online. They seemed to have the answer to our problem. After carefully trying some samples, I ordered a whole batch of stain, antiquing, and sealer. The results are beautiful and exactly what we wanted. And I have plenty left over to fix our patio in the backyard. Thanks Direct Colors! - Personal Tips:
After pressure washing and letting it dry thoroughly, the next day after masking-off the area, I first applied the ColorWave™ in two sprayed, wet-on-wet coats and let it dry completely overnight. The next morning, I sprayed the Antiquing™ on in one coat. The Antiquing™ increased the richness and depth of the color. That evening, I applied the first coat of EasySeal™ Satin with a roller. The next morning, I applied the second coat of EasySeal™ with a roller.
Tip #1— after the color don’t use the spiked candles on you shoes. I found, even walking very carefully, it left marks in the color. Since the color was dry and I was rolling the sealer, I simply wore an old pair of socks. - Direct Colors Products Used:
3 x 1 Gal. Molasses ColorWave® Stain
