Ratings & Reviews for QUIKRETE Liquid Cement 10 Fluid ounce(s) Buff Colorant

Cement dye

Worked great for dying masonry

It works great, it was hard for me to get the shade of color I needed. It was probably the way I was doing it.

Nice Terracotta colour.

I use approximately one bottle for every 120 pounds of concrete and it looks beautiful.

QUICKRETE Charcoal Cement Color Mix

Colors the concrete nicely, and darker than what I was expecting. Follow the easy directions for a nice consistent finish. Had custom concrete pavers outside for a while now, and so far, no fading! Huge plus! Will be creating a new paver path next year, and will definitely use this product again. Wife and I are happy with the results!

Cement coloring

Product works as described, but you must be careful when using it for small batches.

Liquid Quikrete

Excellent product for putting color in cement for stairway in back yard

It worked

It is a little messy, and actually requires quite a bit to sufficiently color a 80lb bag of Quikrete. Otherwise, it was easy to work with. And didn't stain any skin or clothing it came in contact with.

Don’t use very much

It doesn’t take much of this to work. I used about half a bottle for 60 lbs of mortar.

Much brighter than expected

I bought it to tint some mortar grout, I expected a brick color but it was a quite brighter red. Maybe less color would have been sufficient. It tints very effectively though.

Skeptical at first, turned out great

Tried this with the quickcrete cement repair, difficult to match the color of our existing stamped concrete, especially because it looks a lot darker when wet, but turned out pretty nice and we are happy with the results.

Informative.

Works very well. Difficult to match color for each batch of concrete made.

Colors colors everywhere

Apparently this powder should come with a warning detailing how colorful it is, I now own clothes that I affectionately refer to as my “Buff” clothes after an unfortunate spill while using the product.

I find the powdered dye much easier to work with and stores indefinitely, unfortunately they do not stock it in the store. That said this does work and I will use it till I can order the powdered dye.

Quikrete Liquid Color

This product worked well for me. However, each batch of Quikcrete that I mixes seemed to dry a slightly different color. This was probably due to the amount of water added to each bag however i used approximately the same amount for each bag of concrete mix. This was my first time using both products so could be a learning curve. Overall I’m satisfied with how the project turned out.
