4. SELECT YOUR COLOUR AND TEST A SMALL PATCH AREA BEFORE COVERING THE ENTIRE SURFACE. Decide if applying one or two coats. To ensure you purchase the right amount of colour, measure your area before going to the hardware or paint store.
5. DECIDE ON A PATTERN IF INCLUDING THIS IN YOUR DESIGN.
6. MAKE A LIST OF TOOLS REQUIRED.
7. STAIN YOUR CONCRETE SURFACE.
8. SEAL THE CONCRETE. Ensure you read instructions prior to application.
