Does not stick on concrete well
I ordered this product and did everything they recommended, from buying a cleaner for the floor, buying a product to etch the floor, priming the floor, and then staining the floor and it lasted about 2 days before starting to peel. What the heck?! I spent a lot of money on all of these products for it not to work.

Hello, thank you for your review. I'm so sorry to hear about the peeling you're experiencing. That is not the performance we expect of our products. Our Solid Color Concrete Stain should provide a durable and protective finish. To fix the peeling, I recommend removing any loose coating and etching the bare concrete if it feels smoother than 150 grit sandpaper. Make sure the floor is clean and dry before spot priming the area. Then, touch up the area and apply a thin coat if needed for uniformity. We value your customer satisfaction, and this is not the experience we want for our customers. Please reach out to us directly if you need further assistance; our Customer Care team is happy to help! -Lina Behr
    The colors are too bright, inaccurately displayed
    This is my second review. On further consideration, I find the Deep Terra Cotta MUCH brighter than it shows online & in the catalog. It is too bright red, not earth tone. Whoever is responsible for the colors in this line needs to be fired. He or she is wasting people's money and time. The colors are VERY inaccurately represented & , in my experience, do not reflect good visual taste or a discerning eye. If I am still in this house next spring, I may change the color to gray. More $$$. Bad.

      Goes on very nicely
      Excellent stain 2 coats did the job. Very happy with the quality of the stain. Drys in 2 hours then ready for the second coat. Highly recommend to first use a power washer on the concrete first. Didn’t have to use a primer.

        Hi Joseph. thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that the Solid-Color Stain was too thin and started to peel the next day. This is not typical, and I can understand your disappointment. The stain should be the consistency of a blended smoothie. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback.

            Stain concrete, don't paint it.
            I am extremely pleased with results. Easy to apply after doing the proper steps; etch and clean, plus the Behr primer. Appears it will hold up for a long time and stain is the way to go for concrete vs. paint.

            SILVER/GRAY
            I like the stain and highly recommend. However, some of the colors are not exactly like the color in the book. The silver/gray looks more blue than silver or gray so I had to redo my patio. I changed the color to Washed Khaki and very happy with my decision. I can't say if it will last long since I did my patio with both stains within a few weeks but if it only last 6 months I would be ok.

                This paint was recommended to me by a good friend who is in the pool maintenance business about 13 or 14 years ago. I used the product on my old cool deck and 8 years later it still looked great. I moved late last year and resorted to this product once again for the pool deck at my current house. 2 coats does the trick, extremely pleased.

                This is actually a very nice, high quality concrete stain. HOWEVER. Be very careful in picking the color. I wanted a light gray shade and when I applied it to the concrete it was actually white. Like, VERY WHITE. I had to return it. Otherwise, great stuff. Pictures are of the color I ordered vs the color I got.

                  Hi Steph96,

                  Thank you for reviewing Behr Solid Color Concrete Stain. I'm very sorry to hear about the tire mark issue experienced, as it's never what we want our customers to go through.

                  As it turns out, the stain requires a 14-day dry time before it can experience direct tire traffic. However, you can park on top of corrugated cardboard after a 72-hour dry time. The tire marks can be cleaned with soap and water or a concrete cleaner.

                  Customer satisfaction is very important to us, and I encourage you to contact Behr directly for further assistance. We'd love to learn more about your experience and find the best way to help.

                    Thank you for reviewing Behr 1-Part Epoxy. I'm very sorry to hear about the tire tracks left behind, as that's never what we want our customers to go through.

                    As it turns out, 1-Part Epoxy requires a 7-day dry time before it can experience direct tire traffic. The tire marks can be removed with soap and water or with a concrete cleaner. The last coat of paint should dry for at least 72 hours before cleaning.

                    Customer satisfaction is very important to us, and I encourage you to contact Behr directly for further assistance. We'd love to learn more about your experience and find the best way to help.

                      Beware: it is more like a paint, NOT a stain
                      Wanted a stain for my fountain due to, obviously, water. It looks and applies like paint. If this peels like paint when I fill the fountain (rather than a stain that would not), I am going to be really mad!! I will return the other color "stain" since I don't want to "paint" my driveway and walkway. Photos show before and after.

                      Hi Sue, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear about the stain. Unfortunately, our products are not designed for water fountains as they will not hold up underwater.

                        This stain greatly enhances the appearance of ordinary concrete pavers. I chose the Slate Gray color, which unfortunately isn't as dark a gray as I'd hoped, and is really more the same color as the concrete pavers. However, by staining the pavers it has created a far more uniform color across the patio and will be easier to clean because stains from bird droppings and so forth cannot penetrate the surface. I used the Behr Bonding Primer first, so with just one coat of the colored stain, the coverage was very good. My patio is roughly 12 ft by 12 ft and I used half a 1 gallon can. I'm going to darken the remaining half of the stain with some black paint to achieve the charcoal darker gray I was hoping for.

                        almost white
                        We special ordered. Not returnable. We were hoping for a tan that had some brown tint to it. This has no brown at all. Almost a light gray.The stain itself covers well. Disappointed with the tint.

                        Hello Jay, thank you for your review. I am so sorry the color turned out more gray than tan. I recommend recoating your project in a new color that is closer to what you are looking for and testing it in a small area first to ensure it looks just right on your project.

                          This is a GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS vibrant red color! Its not the naturally medium dark or dark red of brok. It's much brighter. Like Ferrrari Red, or the bright rred on a sports car. It's very opaque like paint. But, dries to touch in 10 minutes or less. Used it on my brick paver path. It was walkable in just an hour. Since it is water based, no overwhelming unpleasant order, and it wS easy to clean up. Best part, all of the texture of the brick remained, which is what I wanted. It doesn't look like painted over brick.

                          Followed all directions. Applied 3 coats and spent hours doing my drieway. A month later it is pealing, cracking, stained from leaves and flower petals and DOES NOT resist hot tire marks. Waste of money and time

                          Hi unhappycustomer,

                          Thank you for reviewing Behr Solid Color Concrete Stain. I'm sorry to hear about the peeling and dirt resistance issues experienced, as it certainly isn't what we want our customers to go through. To fix the peeling issue, I recommend sanding down the loose edges before cleaning and touching-up/recoating. Tough stains can be removed with a concrete cleaner from Home Depot. If the stain is peeling down to bare concrete, the concrete should be etched with something like muriatic acid to increase adhesion. After a new coat is applied, the stain should dry for at least 14 days before direct tire traffic. Cooler weather and higher humidity can sometimes prolong the dry time.

                          Please contact Behr's Customer Care Department for further assistance with this matter. We'd love to find a way to help.

                          Kindest regards,

                            Great paint/stain
                            Use the bonding primer (very thin, like water, splatters easily) if using on bare concrete. Coverage is not what they state for the recommended 2 coats. More like 200-250 sq ft rather than the stated 500. Is really nice, seems to stick great and has a nice flat color.

                              Surface prep is the key when using this product. Acid washed my patio twice using a stiff bristtle brush and then power washed. After 24 hrs applied behr bonding primer and waited 4 hours before applying stain. Applied 2 coats waiting 4 hours in between coats and the results were great. Used 2 entire gallons for 300 sq ft of stamped concrete walkway. We’ll see how it holds up through the winter months. Overall, wife and I are pleased with the final result.
