DIY Colored Concrete Patio

Many people do not know that you can easily color you concrete patio. Concrete does not have to remain gray and boring. There are many products on the market that you can purchase to help you easily transform your dab concrete patio to a lively work of art in no time.

1. Purchase a concrete stain in the color of your choice. You can purchase this type of stain from your local home improvement or hardware store.


2. Purchase a garden sprayer with an adjustable nozzle that is large enough to hold enough of the stain and water mixture that you will need to paint your concrete patio. These can be found at hardware, general or home improvement stores and can be purchased inexpensively. 


3. Put on rubber gloves and protective eyewear to protect your eyes from any over spray, and your hands from becoming stained during the process.


4. Fill up the garden sprayer reservoir with equal amounts of water and concrete stain in the color of your choice.


5. Close the lid securely, and then shake the mixture to ensure that it is properly mixed together before beginning the application.


6. Spray the entire area that you wish to stain with your first color. It is important that you spray the concrete in a circular motion to ensure an even coat. Do not hold the sprayer too close to the area being painted so that it does not come out blotchy and uneven.


7. Rinse out the sprayer once you have finished the painting process with the first color of your choice. Be sure that it is thoroughly rinsed out before adding your second color.


8. Follow the above steps again using the next color that you wish to add to your concrete patio. You can choose as many different colors as you would like to achieve the desired results.
