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

1. 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).
2. Degrease the concrete with ProClean Degreaser (sold separately). Mix per the instructions, scrub, and rinse thoroughly. Allow the surface to dry completely before staining.
3. 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.
4. Allow the final coat to dry completely before sealing.
5. 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.
