It is 8 to10 years old and had lost its color. We asked a local company to give us a bid on recolouring and sealing the concrete edging. They assessed the edging and came back to tell us that they couldn\u2019t help us with recolouring but could rip out the edging and replace It. I began my search for a product I could recolour the edging myself. After finding your website and talking to Jay about the appropriate product for my concrete, I ordered a trial kit of our favorite colors. We decided on using the Satin Charcoal Tinted Concrete Sealer.&#8221;[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;92187&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1602025292523{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;4\/6&#8243;][vc_column_text]&#8221;We experimented using a pump sprayer verses a 3\/8 roller. We decided on the look and coverage using the roller. We applied 2 coats letting each coat dry overnight. It took us 3 days to roll on the Charcoal tinted sealer using the roller on the top and foam brushes on the back. After resting for 1 day, we applied 2 light coats of Acrylic Sealer, Solvent based Satin using a pump sprayer. The finished edging looks amazing. It use to blend in with the landscaping rocks and now it makes a statement all its own. We love it! It was super easy to use and the results are awesome!!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Debora Bolger[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=&#8221;top-heading&#8221;][vc_column el_class=&#8221;projects-blog-title&#8221;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1602025292523{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;4\/6&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;92195&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; img_link_target=&#8221;_blank&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1615177625349{padding-right: 25px !important;padding-left: 25px !important;}&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/directcolors.com\/diy\/how-to-acid-staining-a-patio\/&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Acid Staining Concrete Patio Floors&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:32|text_align:center|color:%233a3a3a|line_height:1.2&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Playfair%20Display%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1615177651860{padding-right: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 50px !important;}&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fdirectcolors.com%2Fdiy%2Fhow-to-acid-staining-a-patio%2F|target:_blank&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1615177680086{margin-bottom: 10px !important;padding-right: 50px !important;padding-left: 50px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/directcolors.com\/diy\/how-to-acid-staining-a-patio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Acid stained patio floors<\/a> are by far our most popular first-time DIY concrete coloring project.
