Customer Reviews for Rust-Oleum 1 Gal. Brick Water-Based Decorative Concrete Interior/Exterior Coating (2-Pack)

After reading the literature about how this product works, I decided to buy it through Home Depot. This product had to be ordered and I waited about two weeks. Application was very easy as long as you have the applicator that is recommended. The applicator was difficult to find I needed to go to a different Home Depot in a different state to find one. The product covers more area than the can suggests. 2 gallons covered about 300 ft. which is what my patio is. Very pleased with the results. Love the texture. Follow directions carefully. Highly recommended. Color looks unbelievably great.

This product suggest using their special foam roller. I found using a heavy paint brush worked well. Buy more than you thank you need, shake can well, and apply two coats.

I was worried about using this coating because its hard to tell if you will like it when its done. I can say that I'm very happy I used it and I think it has greatly improved the look of my back patio. I would recommend following the instructions carefully. I swept off the patio first, then applied the specific cleaner from the instructions (Concrete Etch and Cleaner). After it dried completely I applied the first coat, waited until the next day, then applied the second coat. I used the specific foam roller stated in the instructions. It goes on similar to paint, but you are more spreading it than painting it on. The roller doesn't really pick it up like a paint roller does. It works best to pour some onto the concrete, then spread it evenly with the roller, working in small sections. It took me a little bit to get the hang of it so that I spread it evenly. Personally, I thought the texture was a little too rough from the roller by itself. So what I did was lightly drag a paintbrush over the surface right after I rolled each section and I was very happy with the results. See the picture to note the difference it made. Overall, I am extremely happy with how easy it was to apply and how good it looks. It made a HUGE improvement in how the patio looks.

THE PAINT PROCESS WAS HARD TO KEEP PAINT MIXED AND NOT EASY TP APPLY AND YES I USED THE SPECIAL ROLLER APPLICATOR WHICH WAS ALSO A WASTE OF MONEY

It is not easy to apply. Even though the contractor was very careful, still some lines can be seen. There are small imperfections, that look like divots, in the floor where the material did not stick. The finished product, although it looks good, does not hold up. It nicks and scratches very easily, leaving a whitish discolored area. It is very expensive for what you end up with. The contractor did mix all the cans, but some of them were not completely full and some were a different shade of red than the others.

This is a great product. You do need a concrete paint roller as it is thick. I put on two coats and my outdoor concrete bar looks fantastic. Nice color and the texture makes it look better than flat paint.

I was very disappointed that we could not get the same paint as 5 years ago. It came in 5 gallon cans. Your new paint did not match the old paint we used. Because the color that you call "brick" ends up brownish pink. Not the red brick. We had to try and match it. The clerk tried to match it but it turned out orangey and is real shiney and not as grainy as the original. We used the Restore gallons..... I am disappointed. Don't know why you needed to change it.I had to settle for the new mixed one but not happy.
