What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this concrete stain for dramatically restoring faded or worn surfaces with rich, natural-looking color that makes patios and driveways look better than new. Reviewers consistently highlight the ease of application—comparing it favorably to painting—with even first-time users achieving professional results using sprayers, rollers, or brushes. Many emphasize that proper surface preparation and sealing are critical, noting that sealer significantly deepens and brightens color. Several recommend ordering extra product for large areas and mixing thoroughly before use, as the stain settles quickly. A few report minor batch color variations or inconsistent results without adequate prep.

Breathed new life into my faded stamped concrete!

Would Recommend

I bought a 1-gallon jug of Direct Colors Antiquing Stain in Terracotta to fix up my weathered, sun-bleached backyard patio, and the results are fantastic. The semi-transparent Terracotta gave it a beautiful, warm Mediterranean clay color without looking like fake, thick paint. It settled perfectly into the stamped indentations to highlight the concrete's natural texture. Just a reminder to everyone: this product must be locked in with a sealer afterward, or the pigment will wash away. It looks b...

Best (re)stain for stamped concrete walkway

Would Recommend

I used this product to restain my stamped concrete walkway. I also applied the EasySeal sealer. It turned out so well! It looks better than it did when we put in the walkway 10 years ago. Thank you, Direct Colors for an awesome product.

Easy to use looks great

Would Recommend

I decide to use black as I wanted a pretty dark antique looking wall. It went on easily and dried looking great. Will definitely use it on the pavers when I get to that part of my project.

Made our flagstone steps PERFECT.

Would Recommend

We’ve suffered through having grey flagstone steps going up to our house for more than ten years— the stone on our home exterior is shades of brown as are our pavers. We hated those steps, but didn’t know how to change them. On the direct colors website, we were able to order a trial kit ($39.99, and well worth it) with three different colors of antiquing stain, which we applied to leftover pieces of our flagstone, then sealed with the sealer included in the trial kit. One of those colors, dr...

Re-Staining Stamped Concrete

Would Recommend

Follow all directions (and be time patient) to prepping the surface. Order a little more than you think you need. Patience again - first coat was ok, but 2nd coat really brought out the color we were hoping for. We did a 2nd color for highlighting in spots and that really improved the look. Don't forget to seal it for even more enhanced look and durability.

Can this stain be used on indoor concrete?

What are the undertones of the gray stain? Blues? Purple? Brown?

I’m looking for a stain to refinish my patio. I believe it had a water based finish. Is this solvent base product ok to use over top?

Do you need to seal after applying . Thanks

Can this be applied with a roller instead of spray

Does this go on as a solid color, completely covering what's underneath so that if I use it on a red stained and unstained concrete, will it match?

Can this be used on a firepit?

Is this product a deep penetrating stain that will not peel ? Also witch sealer should be used with stain ? Can the sealer be tinted ?Thank you .
