Please be aware that each photo in this gallery showcases projects accomplished with our EasyTint™ Tinted Sealer and is provided by actual customers, serving as a source of inspiration. However, since EasyTint™ is semi-transparent, the final appearance of your project will be influenced by the initial color and condition of your concrete surface, and thus, your final results might vary. For the best results, we strongly recommend performing a small test on your specific surface before applying the stain to the entire project to ensure the final look aligns with your expectations.

Project Info:

  • Project Completed In: 7 day(s)
  • Estimate of Square Footage: 228 sq. ft.
  • Project Description:
    Our back patio was coated with Valspar concrete “stain” – it was a paint. Year after year I would have to chip off the peeling paint and recoat😡
    I was DONE! I researched Direct Colors, ordered three samples and I instantly knew that I had found my answer. It took two pressure washers and diamond grinding to remove the paint from the patio. After thoroughly cleaning the concrete I applied EasyTint per directions and helpful videos. My wife and I are amazed at the transformation!! Thanks Direct Colors.
  • Personal Tips:
