I made a pondless waterfall and used rough faced concrete blocks for the frame structure. I didn't want to leave the blocks unfinished and went to Home Depot to ask their staff which product would be best for this project. A special thanks to Dave/head of the paint department in Payson, AZ. He was very knowledgeable and recommended the perfect solution/product. He also gave great info on the application process and is an asset to this store.

This product along with required bonding agent, by Behr also, is the quintessential solution for surface treatment of bare concrete walls, floor, exterior stoops, patios, entranceways, foundation surfaces with multiple and varied choices of decorative colors and applications.
Each application of product step takes a minimum of three to four hours drying time for the application of bonding agent and then the application of the stain product with three to fours hours drying time, using brush or roller tools.
My experience is that brush and roller clean by water cleansing and drying is best for both the bonding agent and stain product immediately upon project completion.

Very pleased with solid color stain
This stain worked so well I felt compelled to write a review. I made sure to follow the instructions and couldn't be more pleased with the finish of the stain. I was staining a concrete deck area that was made up of slabs poured at three different times, by three different vendors, with three different concrete mixes. This stain set a superb uniform color across all three areas. Looks great, love the color, a fraction of the cost of having a pro do a deck stain, highly recommended.

Color on concrete does not match brochure
The quality of the stain might be ok, but my issue with this product is that the color you end up with on your concrete doesn't look anything like the color selected from the brochure. I tried two different colors and neither looked like it is supposed to. My porch looks terrible. I have invested a lot of money in five gallons of stain and now need to redo the whole project. Picking your color is a complete gamble - won't use this product again.

This worked great! It covered previous color and stains really well and was easy to paint on with a roller. Would definitely purchase again.

Easy to apply. Good coverage. The bag and container were covered in paint when it arrived.

Positively. Absolutely. Not a stain.
They call this a stain. But it doesn't penetrate - it sits on top like paint. Well sorry, but they can redefine anything with new meanings, but this is still not a stain. This applies and acts just like paint. Simple and end of story. Call this paint a stain all day long, but it doesn't make it so. Now I have a patio that is PAINTED, which is not what I wanted. Great. Thanks Behr. Do your research. Get an acid based stain if a stain is what you really want.

Color is not accurate
HD rep says the color would be pinkish from matching with the piece of brick I brought in. So I picked Terra Brick from the color chart. Turns out it's pinkish too. Behr customer Care is very helpful, they offer a replacement for free. Then I picked a darker color, the Red Potato, it's more orange than brown. The color is much brighter than the chart. If the color matters very much, be careful. The rep at HD may not have the expertise to provide sound advice.

Doesn't cover crack filler
Disappointed. I have a 20ft x 10ft concrete deck with two cracks that have been repaired with crack filler. Home Depot paint rep said to use this stain instead of paint. After applying two coats per instructions, area coverage was good but crack filler still obvious under the stain. The whole point of this project was to cover the repaired cracks to be uniform with the rest of the deck. What now? Cover with paint?

Hi M123, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear about your experience using the Solid Color Concrete Stain, and I can understand your disappointment. To fix this, we recommend removing the loose coating by scraping or sanding, spot etching the bare concrete as needed, and allowing the surface to dry thoroughly. Once dry, apply the Concrete & Masonry Bonding Primer and re-apply the Solid Color Concrete Stain. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback. Please feel free to reach out to us directly so we can learn more about your project and assist. We look forward to hearing from you! - Randy

Is NOT a true stain
I used this product on my porch and shed floor. As you can see it only “painted” the top layer of the concrete. Stain is suppose to penetrate. I had an object fall on the porch and floor and it scratched off the color!! I used their 880 primer but that didn’t make a difference in it staining the concrete. I prepped and etched as it states to.
I was of a waist a lot of money.

Thank you for your review and pictures of your project. I'm very sorry to hear your project didn't turn out as expected and that some of the color came off. That is not the experience we want for our customers, and I want to help turn this around. Our Solid Color Concrete Stain is a film-forming stain that is not formulated to penetrate concrete. The coating should dry and be fully cured within about 14 days to be able to provide the proper protection and durability. During that time, we recommend being gentle on the coating to avoid any abrasions or touch-ups. To fix the scratch, I recommend removing any loose coating and making sure that the surface is clean and dry. If the area is bare, prime the concrete before touching up the spot. Your satisfaction is important to us, and I want to do my best to make this right. I've reached out to you via email to learn more about your project and assist you further. Thank you again for your feedback, and I hope to hear from you soon!

Getting used to the brighter color
The color is much brighter than in the catalog or online, however, I am getting used to it and now rather like it. It certainly is cheerful as winter descends! The color also seems to be deepening slightly as it cures. Still, I think Behr needs to either change the colors displayed in the catalog and online or adjust the actual stain colors to be more accurate. It is frustrating to end up with a very different color tone than you expected.

Colors are much lighter than in catalog
I initially applied the Terra Brick color to my patio concrete but found it to be much lighter & brighter than how it appears in the paper catalog or online. It was too pink for my taste. So, I did the second coat in the Deep Terra Cotta, which I like much better. It, too, however, is much lighter & brighter than in the catalog or online. Both of these colors use the "deep" base. I don't know how about the colors that use the white base. Otherwise, it went on easily and looks great!

Color is off
I opted for Coronado because it is a light brown, but it turned out too red. On the left is an extract of my driveway and on the right a picture of the color sample. World of difference between what you buy and what it turns out to be.
