Concrete staining a large porch
-
Elite Crete of Indiana on Aug 15, 2013You should never apply paint to concrete. There are several ways to change the look of concrete. Reactive acid staining, solvent based dyes or even an hybrid polymer overlay to mimic stone, brick, marble...... you name it. There are also water based colorants that can be applied but are mostly topical. I am a technical advisor and distributor for Elite Crete Systems. You can go to our corporate website at www.elitecrete.com for further information. I happen to cover Ohio and would be more than happy to discuss your project. Info@elitecreteindiana.comHelpful Reply

Elite Crete of Indiana on Aug 15, 2013Let us know how long that lasts colleen. Paint does not have the bonding powers to adhere properly to concrete. ALL concrete slabs have vapor moisture passing through it. Some more than others. Paint will not adhere to any concrete with moisture in it. Depending on how much vapor emissions passing through the concrete will determine how fast paint will start to peel off.Helpful Reply

Larry Chura on Apr 02, 2016I'm not saying what is best. I've used epoxy tinted sealers on concrete for many, many years now and they have all adhered and not faded. They were all in places with good drainage though!Helpful Reply
