A:  Hi Robbie, thank you for your question. The Semi-Transparent Concrete Stain can be applied to masonry surfaces such as concrete garage floors. However, it is not designed for areas that will be driven on. Have a great day! - Randy

A:  Hi Beverly, thanks for your question. Our Decorative Semi-Transparent Concrete Stain can be applied over a solid color stain; however, please keep in mind that the color of the previous stain will affect the final color of the semi-transparent stain. Have a great day! -Christina

A:  Hi Holly, Thank you for your question. After the bare concrete has been etched and cleaned, we recommend priming it with Behr Masonry & Concrete Bonding Primer No. 880. Then, you want to apply your base coat, followed by your accent coat; apply both with a high-quality pump sprayer in a circular motion to create the dye look. For added protection, you can topcoat with a Wet-Look Sealer No. 985 or Low-Luster Sealer No. 986. You can always check out our how-to-video on our website for further details. If you need further assistance, please reach out to us directly; we are always happy to help! -Alex

A:  Hi Joan, thanks for the question. Our Decorative Concrete Stain does help to seal the surface to protect the concrete from the elements, so a separate sealer isn't required. If you want added protection, you can apply either our Wet-Look or Low-Lustre Sealers over the stain. If you have additional questions about your project, please reach out to us directly. Our customer care team is happy to help. -Ronald
