The Antiquing™ 2-Step Application System is a complete concrete stain kit that includes the two essential products needed to stain stamped or textured concrete from start to finish: 1 gallon of Antiquing™ Stain in your color choice and 1 gallon of matched sealer. Together, these cover approximately 200 square feet of standard exterior stamped or textured concrete.
This is the most popular way to buy Antiquing™. Staining stamped concrete requires two chemically distinct products in matched quantities — and figuring out which sealer pairs with which stain and what coverage to expect from each is a barrier that keeps a lot of first-time users from getting professional results. The 2-Step System eliminates the guesswork. Pick your color, place one order, and you have everything you need to restore a stamped driveway, patio, pool deck, walkway, or other 200 sq ft project.
Antiquing™ Stain is a semi-transparent, solvent-based concrete stain crafted to enhance the aesthetic appeal of outdoor concrete surfaces. Its premium, spray-on formula is specifically tailored for stamped, broomed, swirled, hand troweled, or textured concrete, breathing new life into faded or discolored surfaces. A unique blend of pigments and dispersants ensures the color not only enhances the surface but also highlights the concrete's natural textures and indentations, creating a distinctive antique look. It stands out as a superior alternative to traditional coloring methods like colored stamped release forms, offering an easier, mess-free application process suitable for both professionals and homeowners.
How to Use the 2-Step Application System
- Test your concrete. Sprinkle water on the surface. If it absorbs within seconds, you're ready to stain. If it beads up, you need to etch with CitrusEtch first (sold separately).
- Degrease the concrete with ProClean Degreaser (sold separately). Mix per the instructions, scrub, and rinse thoroughly. Allow the surface to dry completely before staining.
- Apply Antiquing™ Stain with one of the included sprayers. The spray-on application allows the pigments to settle into the textures, indentations, and low spots of stamped or textured concrete, accentuating the pattern and creating the antique effect. Build up to your desired color depth with additional coats as needed, allowing to dry completely between coats.
- Allow the final coat to dry completely before sealing.
- Seal with the included concrete sealer using the second sprayer. This is when the color pops and the surface is protected against weather, UV, and traffic. Sealing is required — Antiquing™ Stain MUST be sealed.
Full step-by-step instructions are included with the kit. For more detail, see the Antiquing™ How-To Guide
| Product Type | Semi-transparent, solvent-based antiquing stain for concrete. |
|---|---|
| Recommended Uses | Stamped concrete driveways, patios, pool decks, walkways, and other exterior concrete. |
| Location | Exterior use only. |
| Surface Preparation | Concrete cured 28+ days, clean and dry. Remove oil, grease, curing compounds, sealers, and incompatible coatings. Profile test: water should absorb within 3–5 min; if it beads, etch or mechanically abrade and retest. May not adhere to hard-troweled/smooth surfaces. |
| Mixing | Shake/stir thoroughly before and during use. Using more than one jug, combine (“box”) all jugs and remix for uniform color. Do not thin or dilute. |
| Application Tools | Pump-up sprayer with filter removed, in circular, overlapping passes. Mop, sponge, or rag to create accents. |
| Application Temperature | Air 40–95°F (4–35°C); surface 50–85°F (10–29°C). Apply to a cool surface, out of direct sun—early evening is best. Hot or sunny surfaces can cause bubbling and hazing. |
| Coats | Apply 2 coats wet-on-wet (no drying between coats). |
| Coverage | Approximately 200 sq. ft. (18.6 m²) per gallon for two coats; varies with surface porosity and texture. |
| Re-Coat Time | Additional coats may be applied immediately, without waiting. |
| Dry Time (before sealing) | Allow the final coat to dry a minimum of 8 hours (longer in cool or humid conditions) so solvents fully evaporate. Sealing too soon can cause haze or poor adhesion. |
| Sealing | Required. Antiquing™ Stain is not a sealer—unsealed surfaces will not show true color and color can wash off. |
| Recommended Sealers | AcquaSeal™ or HydroCryl™ (water-based acrylic), or EasySeal™ (solvent-based acrylic). |
| Tool & Spill Cleanup | Xylene, before the stain dries. |
| Limitations | Won’t hide cracks, stains, blemishes, or surface irregularities. Not for interior use. Always test a small area first. |
| Ventilation & Safety | DANGER: Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Combustible. Use only with adequate ventilation; wear a mask, safety glasses, and chemical-resistant gloves. Solvent-soaked rags can self-ignite—dry flat outdoors or seal in a water-filled metal container. |
| Storage / Shelf Life | Use within 1 year of purchase. Store indoors, cool, away from direct sunlight, heat, and open flame. |
| Choice of Stain Color | Antiquing™ Stain - 1 Gallon. Suitable for approx. 200 sq. ft., depending on surface conditions and application method. |
|---|---|
| Choice of Sealer* | EasySeal™ Solvent-based or HydroCryl™ Water-based Performance Sealer - 1 Gallon. Yields coverage for about 200 sq. ft. |
| Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) | Gloves, Safety Glasses |
| Cleaning Supplies | ProClean Degreaser™ Concentrate (1), Cleaning Cloths (1) |
| Staining Tools | Stain Pump-up Sprayer (1), Pair of Spiked Shoes. |
| Sealing Tools | Sealer Pump-up Sprayer (1) |
* Customers can choose between a satin or gloss finish for the EasySeal™ sealer to tailor the final look to their preference.
