Best Uses
  • Indoor and outdoor concrete surfaces.
  • New or existing concrete and concrete overlays.
  • Recoloring faded integrally colored or stamped concrete.
  • Horizontal and vertical surfaces.
  • Wood and other porous, non-sealed substrates.
  • Multi-colored, faux, washed, or custom mixed looks.
Surface Prep

Clean the surface completely before staining. Remove oil, grease, gum, wax, dust, dirt, and any foreign material.

Glaze 'N Seal Heavy Duty Cleaner is recommended for general prep. For heavier stains like motor oil, use a heavy-duty degreaser. Efflorescence and mineral deposits can be removed with Glaze 'N Seal Efflorescence Remover.

New concrete should be at least 28 days old before staining and sealing.

If the surface is not structurally solid, it must be repaired or replaced before staining.
Application
  • EZ Stain is ready-to-use.
  • Always test first in an inconspicuous area to confirm color and appearance.
  • Only mix with other EZ Stain colors.
  • A pump sprayer is the most common application method.
  • Cone tips sprayed in a circular motion work better than fan tips.
  • Pour through a paint filter to help avoid sprayer clogs.
  • Airless sprayers or HVLP guns may also be used.
  • Agitate frequently during application.
  • For faux looks, dab with a sponge or brush.
  • Surface temperature should be between 50-100°F during stain application.
  • Do not apply if rain is expected within 24 hours.
Shake well before use and frequently during application.
Coverage

One gallon ready-to-use covers approximately 200-400 sq. ft., depending on the condition and porosity of the concrete.

When diluted to create light color washes, coverage may increase to approximately 600-700 sq. ft.

Dry Time & Sealing

When the color looks flat, the stain has dried and additional colors can be applied. Allow 1-3 hours of additional cure time after the final stain coat.

For best results, apply two or more coats of a film-forming pro-grade sealer such as Glaze 'N Seal Multi-Purpose Sealer or Wet Look Lacquer to protect the stain.

Apply sealer only when surface temperature is between 50-90°F. Do not apply if rain is expected within 24 hours, and turn off garden sprinklers.

Repair & Base Coat

When repairing areas that are worn, badly stained, porous, or rust stained, EZ Stain Base Coat is recommended as a primer over the repair before applying EZ Stain for a more uniform result.

Clean Up

Wash tools and equipment with soap and water.

Safety
  • For professional use only.
  • Keep out of reach of children.
  • Always wear eye protection and gloves.
  • Use an OSHA/NIOSH approved respirator when spraying indoors.
  • Liquid contact with eyes and skin may cause irritation.
  • Do not ingest. Wash hands thoroughly after use.
  • Refer to the SDS tab for full handling instructions.

Brick Red on our patio was the right call

We used Brick Red on the patio to make the concrete feel more intentional. The first coat gave us a preview, and the edges were simple to touch up. The Brick Red color gave the patio the depth it was missing.

Limestone Yellow was easy to apply

This color went on the tired back porch as part of a bigger outdoor cleanup. After we cleared the dust from the joints, the product spread more evenly than I expected. The back porch looks cared for again.

Cobalt Blue changed the whole outdoor bar area

Cobalt Blue felt like the right color for the outdoor bar area because we wanted a bold blue accent. After we blew off the dust before starting, the application felt manageable for a weekend project. The outdoor bar area still shows texture, which is exactly what we wanted.

The finish exceeded expectations

I wanted a fresh natural gray finish on the front walk, and this got close to the look I had in mind. After we taped the borders before rolling, the coverage was solid on the rougher spots. It looks better in person because the front walk still has natural variation. This was a good upgrade for the money.

The courtyard finally has character

I used Limestone Yellow to change the look of our courtyard without covering the texture. Once the concrete was clean, the main section rolled out cleanly. The color did its job because the courtyard no longer looks plain gray. The finished look matched what we had in mind.

Brick Red worked with the concrete texture

Our patio needed something more finished, so we tried Brick Red. We waited for the morning shade, then it did not feel sticky or hard to move around. Once sealed, the patio had the depth we wanted.

The pool deck trim looks cared for again

We put Terra Cotta on the tired pool deck trim because it needed some character. We took our time with prep, and it brushed into corners better than expected. The pool deck trim looks cared for again.

Good color control with Desert Gold

We used Desert Gold on the pool deck to make the concrete feel more intentional. The first coat gave us a preview, and I could build the color slowly instead of overdoing it. The color gave the pool deck a custom look without covering everything.

Great choice for the patio border

I chose Emerald Green for the patio border because the deeper emerald green tone matched the area. We cleared the dust from the joints, then the coverage was solid on the rougher spots. The result worked because the patio border kept its natural texture.

The sealer made the color pop

Fiesta Green felt like the right color for the pool deck border because we wanted a garden-friendly green accent. We took our time with prep, and the main section rolled out cleanly. After sealing, the pool deck border had a more polished finish.

The courtyard inset looks intentional now

We chose Cobalt Blue because the old courtyard inset looked tired next to the rest of the yard. The first coat gave us a preview, and it was easier to control than a thicker coating. The courtyard inset looks refreshed without losing the concrete texture.

The classic clay-red finish came out just right

This color went on the porous driveway trim as part of a bigger outdoor cleanup. The surface was not perfect, but the open area rolled quickly once the edges were done. The result worked because the driveway trim kept its natural texture. I wish I had ordered a little extra for touchups.

Nice color depth on the driveway band

The goal was to refresh the driveway band without making it look painted, so we used Antique Black. The first coat gave us a preview, and light coats gave us the most even finish. The biggest difference is that the driveway band looks maintained again. One section needed another light pass, but it blended in fine.

Natural-looking Terra Cotta finish

Terra Cotta gave our courtyard a cleaner look without hiding the surface. With the slab ready, it was easy to avoid a heavy coated look. After the sealer went on, the courtyard looked completely refreshed. The second coat made the biggest difference for us.

Happy with the Limestone Yellow color

I picked Limestone Yellow for the garden path because I wanted a light warm stone look. I was careful around the borders, and a roller handled the open concrete and a brush cleaned up the edges. The garden path looks cared for again.

Terra Cotta on our walkway was the right call

I picked Terra Cotta for the walkway because I wanted a Mediterranean clay tone. With the slab ready, light coats gave us the most even finish. After sealing, the walkway had a more polished finish. I am glad we took the time to do it right.

The porch landing looks finished now

We used New Concrete on the porch landing to make the concrete feel more intentional. The surface was not perfect, but the main section rolled out cleanly. The color gave the porch landing a custom look without covering everything. Next time I would use a fresh roller from the start.

Fresh look for the planter curb

We chose Brick Red because the old planter curb looked tired next to the rest of the yard. The surface was not perfect, but the product spread more evenly than I expected. Compared with the old slab, the planter curb has much more character.

Cobalt Blue was worth the prep

I chose Cobalt Blue for the front step accent because the deep cobalt blue tone matched the area. We cleaned around the expansion joints, then the application felt manageable for a weekend project. The finished front step accent feels cleaner and more complete.

Great Limestone Yellow tone on the walkway

We put Limestone Yellow on the older walkway because it needed some character. With the slab ready, it did not feel sticky or hard to move around. The walkway looks updated without feeling overdone.

Desert Gold gave us the look we wanted

We put Desert Gold on the dusty pool deck because it needed some character. We kept a brush nearby for the edges, then it dried evenly across the main section. The pool deck looks finished now, not just cleaned.

Good texture and color balance

I chose Fiesta Green for the outdoor seating nook because the soft green tone matched the area. After we taped the borders before rolling, the open area rolled quickly once the edges were done. After it dried, the outdoor seating nook looked more intentional.

Emerald Green was easy to apply

The Emerald Green color was a good fit for our dusty pool deck detail. Once the concrete was clean, it was easier to control than a thicker coating. I like that the pool deck detail has color without looking painted.

Happy with the Cobalt Blue color

We put Cobalt Blue on the hairline-cracked courtyard inset because it needed some character. I was careful around the borders, and the concrete texture stayed visible while applying it. After it dried, the courtyard inset looked more intentional. The result was good, though prep took longer than the application.

Love the clay terra cotta tone

This color went on the sealed-looking porch as part of a bigger outdoor cleanup. I was careful around the borders, and light coats gave us the most even finish. The result worked because the porch kept its natural texture.

Clean Cobalt Blue finish outdoors

We wanted the walkway detail to feel more finished, so Cobalt Blue was the color we tried. I was careful around the borders, and it did not feel sticky or hard to move around. Once sealed, the walkway detail had the depth we wanted. It made the space feel more finished.

The warm brown concrete finish came out just right

This was my first time staining concrete, and Cafe went on our back patio. Application went smoothly because the concrete texture stayed visible while applying it. The finished back patio feels cleaner and more complete.

James Chandler
A finished look without replacing concrete

We chose Fiesta Green because the old patio accent looked tired next to the rest of the yard. The surface was not perfect, but it was easier to control than a thicker coating. The final tone made the patio accent fit the outdoor space better.

Antique Black brought out the outdoor kitchen area

The outdoor kitchen area had a dull gray look, and Antique Black gave it a better finish. Application went smoothly because the application felt manageable for a weekend project. The final tone made the outdoor kitchen area fit the outdoor space better.

A cleaner look outside

Terra Cotta gave our garden path a cleaner look without hiding the surface. After we blew off the dust before starting, the stain did not hide the surface pattern. The color gave the garden path a custom look without covering everything.

Nice color depth on the patio border

The Emerald Green color was a good fit for our patched patio border. We washed the older section twice, then the main section rolled out cleanly. I like that the patio border has color without looking painted.
