Be careful of what you order
I bought two gallons of this thinking I was getting a stain but after carefully examining it looks to be a water down paint that sits on top of the surface instead of pentrating the concrete, I worry about blistering and tire tracks on my carport to scared to use it and they don't except returns on this item so I'm out $81

Hi SGer, thanks for taking the time to review our Concrete Solid Color Stain. I'm sorry to hear the stain did not turn out how you expected. This product is a water-based film-forming stain perfect for concrete patios and driveways. However, it does resemble a paint since it's a solid color finish. While you should not have any problems with blistering, provided you follow all prep and application steps carefully, I understand your hesitation. Customer satisfaction is very important to us, so feel free to reach out to our Customer Care team directly for further assistance. They are always happy to help. Enjoy the rest of your day. -Christina Behr

    Easy application
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased this product. It went on my floor very easily with a roller. I am very pleased with the results.

      Hi Oneida, thank you for your review. I’m sorry to hear that the color was much redder than expected. Typically, the lighting and the surroundings can influence how the color will turn out. It is a great idea to sample colors first whenever possible. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback. Please reach out to us directly if you need further assistance; our customer care team is happy to help you! -Ronald Behr

      I bought a house and inherited a pool deck made of concrete pavers that are approximately 18 years old. We added a concrete addition a couple of years ago. Both were shades of light gray that were slightly mismatched. I used this stain to cover the entire pool deck and concrete addition and it now looks like one cohesive space. It was about 2500 square feet total. Time will tell how well this stain holds up. But my initial opinion is that this stain definitely covered well and looks great. We pressure washed the entire space and used the Behr concrete primer before applying 2-3 coats of this stain. My pool deck looks clean, bright and new--definitely not 18+ years old. Now, my pool pavers have a lot of texture to them and they don't feel slippery when wet. However, the smooth concrete addition seems quite slick when wet. For any smooth concrete, I would highly suggest the anti-slip floor finish additive or an additive that will provide texture to prevent slips and falls when the concrete is wet.

      Holds up under Florida Sun
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this on my lanai for 15 years. Wears quite well. I have had to recoat three times in 15 years. That is good wear considering our intense Florida Sun.

        Good coverage and adherence
        Good coverage. Tends to get a film in the roller pan if it is warm so it’s better to keep only enough stain in the roller pan to get the roller wet and add stain frequently to the pan to avoid the film issue.

        Long Lasting Stain
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very happy now after about 3 years of using this product and the color is still staying as it was put down and no fading or discolor in its coverage.

            Tire marks after 2 1/2 weeks dry time.
            Bought this on recommendation of a neighbor. After proper cleaning and prepping, 2 coats applied, looked great until after 2 1/2 weeks dry time just pulled the vehicle in from across the street (no time for hot tires) and there are tire tracks. Does this also need a seal/top coat?

            Hi Pat180,

            Thank you for sharing your feedback. Sorry to hear you ran into issues with our Solid Color Concrete Stain.

            To get your project back on track, we’d recommend cleaning the tire track marks off with a warm water and mild detergent (degreasing dishwashing soaps work very well) solution or a concrete cleaner. If there are still visible marks, we’d recommend touching up the affected areas.

            Customer satisfaction is important to us. So, we’ve reached out to you directly to assist you further. Hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend. -Joanna
              highly susceptible to stains
              product has stayed on well for the year since I applied it (prep, prime, 2 coats), but being a "flat" finish it's very susceptible to staining and discoloration. leaves or grass left on the surface for even a week are absorbed into the finish and leave marks and then you must use outdoor bleach to clean it....they won't just rinse off. i put it on my interior patio and it's great, but on my outdoor patio it's proved to be very high maintenance and I wouldn't use it again. perhaps a higher luster product would be more resistant?

                Hi there, thank you for the review. Sorry to hear that that the stain peeled and came up on your tires. I'd recommend removing the loose coating by scraping, sanding or power washing. Then etch the bare concrete and apply our Concrete & Masonry Bonding Primer #880 before reapplying the stain. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback. Please reach out to us directly if you need further assistance; our customer care team is happy to help you! -Ronald Behr

                  Loved this product. It performed exactly how it was suppose to. It is thin so handle carefully as it tends to splatter if pouring straight out of the bucket. Oh and cover it with a clear sealer to protect the color.

                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Needed to redo my carport and driveway. This concrete stain was the way to go. Followed the pre prep steps and my carport was ready for its new color.
