Choosing the right color for your concrete just got easier with our Vibrance™ Dye Trial Kit! Perfect for both beginners and professionals, this kit lets you test out different dye options on any concrete surface, indoors or out, before you buy the full size. It’s a must-have because the final look of the dye can vary depending on your concrete’s original color and condition.

Our kit makes it simple to find the color that works best for you, so you can move forward with your project confidently.

When it comes to sealing, you've got options. EasySeal™ is a bit stronger in smell but brings out a richer color, perfect if you’re going for a bold look. AcquaSeal™ is easier on the nose and still gives a lovely finish.

Remember, applying the sealer is a crucial step—it’s what makes the color pop and come to life. Skipping it might leave you wondering where the color went, but once sealed, the true shades shine through.

Is Concrete Dye a permanent color?

Yes! If properly taken care of, Concrete dye will last as long as the concrete itself. However, projects using Concrete Dye MUST be sealed every 1-2 years depending on exposure to retain the original color. If not properly cared for, the color could significantly fade requiring an additional application of dye.

What type of sprayer can I use to apply Concrete Dye?

Concrete Dye is an acetone-based dye. An acetone-resistant pump sprayer can be used, but when purchasing a sprayer, it is critical that the sprayer is designed to spray acetone. Acetone is a highly reactive liquid that will render most sprayers useless very quickly. Direct Colors Inc. sells a sprayer that is well-suited to applying Concrete Dye and is offered in the “Tools & Applicators” section of our website.

Do I need to seal in the color?

Sealing your surface is a MUST! All projects using Concrete Dye MUST be sealed every 1-2 years depending on exposure (indoor applications would need to be sealed less often) to retain the original color. If not properly cared for, the color could significantly fade requiring an additional application of dye.

How do I mix the Concrete Dye with the Acetone and where can I buy the Acetone?

Concrete Dye is shipped to the customer in powder form and must be mixed with Acetone to create the finished product. Acetone can be purchased at most hardware stores by the gallon and is relatively inexpensive. DCI Concrete Dye can be poured using a funnel into the gallon or larger-sized container. DO NOT USE AN ELECTRIC MIXER TO COMBINE THE DYE AND ACETONE! Replace the lid and shake until the contents are thoroughly mixed. Allow the mixture to set for 45 minutes and shake thoroughly again before using.

Is the Concrete Dye dangerous to me?

DCI Concrete Dye can be dangerous if not used properly. When spraying the product, remember to wear gloves, goggles and a dust mask/respirator for protection. Acetone does have a chemical odor and if using inside, the area should be ventilated to the OUTSIDE as much as possible. Acetone is a flammable liquid. DO NOT USE ELECTRIC MIXERS OR PLACE NEAR OPEN FLAMES! Always read over safety information before using any chemicals.

Is Concrete Dye and Concrete Pigment the same product?

Concrete Dye and Concrete Pigment are NOT the same product. Concrete Dye is applied topically AFTER a slab or countertop has been poured. Concrete Pigment also known as integral color is added to the concrete mix BEFORE pouring a slab or countertop.
