What exactly do you want to do? Any paint store will have all the supplies you need. I am partial to Dunn Edwards, as I have been using the same location for decades. There are other options.

I have seen the concrete stain at Home Depot but not acid stain for concrete. Most of the products are the typical gray with flecks or tan colors.

In my my research is seems that I should be able to purchase the stain itself in a color & apply it to the concrete directly.

  You can, just visit a proper stand alone paint store, like Sherwin Williams, etc. Their personnel are trained well and can walk you through each step of the process.
