Note: These project photos are shared by real Direct Colors customers to showcase authentic results. Because our stains are semi-transparent, final color will vary based on your concrete’s original tone and condition. Always test on a small area first to confirm your desired look before full application.

This rejuvenated pathway showcases a vibrant makeover using Portico™ stain in Buff, Charcoal, Khaki, and Silver Gray.
