Project Info:

Project Completed In: 3 day(s)
Estimate of Square Footage: 1000 sq. ft.
Project Description:
Was looking to finish my new concrete garage floor with something other than flakes and paint. Scrolled the internet for ideas and found the Vibrance concrete dye. I really liked the look of the charcoal, stormy gray and white pics advertised on website. I rented a concrete grinder to prep floor for dye. Spraying the three colors of dye was a very easy process. Topped the floor with a polyaspartic clear coat so floor would be suitable for intended garage use. I Can’t be any happier with the results. All my neighbors and friends can’t believe I did this myself. I highly recommend this product to anyone. If you want a professional looking floor different from all your neighbors give it a try yourself.
Personal Tips:
Take your time and prepare floor accordingly. I used grinder, then pressure washed concrete. Let concrete dry before applying product. Use please use a good acetone approved sprayer.
