Complete ColorWave® Concrete Stain Kit — Stain & Sealer for 200 sq ft
The ColorWave® 2-Step Application System is a complete concrete stain kit that includes the two essential products needed to stain concrete from start to finish: 1 gallon of ColorWave® Concrete Stain in your color choice and 1 gallon of matched sealer. Together, these cover approximately 200 square feet of standard interior or exterior concrete.
This is the most popular way to buy ColorWave®. Staining 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 stain a concrete floor, patio, wall, countertop, or other 200 sq ft project.
ColorWave® is a semi-transparent, topical, water-based concrete stain designed to infuse concrete surfaces. Utilizing the natural porosity of concrete and its inherent moisture absorption, ColorWave® infuses concrete with micronized pigments, transforming dull surfaces into vibrant, variegated displays. Available in twenty-four distinctive colors, this eco-friendly, zero VOC stain offers precision in application and control over the desired aesthetics. The advanced polymer modification and high-quality pigments ensure durability and color consistency, making it suitable for floors, walls, ceilings, countertops, and other architectural elements in both residential and commercial spaces — interior or exterior, on decorative overlays, micro-toppings, or regular concrete.
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.
- Apply ColorWave® Concrete Stain with one of the included sprayers. Work it into the surface evenly, building up to your desired color depth with additional coats as needed. Allow 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. Sealing is required — ColorWave® Stain MUST be sealed.
- Optional: Finish with ProWax Polish for interior floors (sold separately).
Full step-by-step instructions are included with the kit. For more detail, see the ColorWave® How-To Guide.
