Restore and decorate your concrete with The ORIGINAL Solid Color Stain™, a pro-grade water based decorative concrete stain made especially for use with existing, unsealed, interior or exterior concrete surfaces. The ORIGINAL Solid Color Stain is NOT a paint. The advanced polymer-modified concrete stain formula penetrates the surface of porous concrete (as deep as the surface pores) and creates an opaque (solid), yet breathable finish that requires no sealer.*
Applications & Uses
The ORIGINAL Solid Color Stain is commonly used to restore previously colored concrete surfaces or to rejuvenate old, tired-looking concrete by completely covering discolorations or stains. It can be used on concrete flatwork, vertical surfaces, concrete blocks, pavers, imprinted concrete, exposed aggregate, and many other cementitious surfaces. It can also be used with sandblasting stencils. It is perfect for use over micro-toppings and overlays.
It may be used on a variety of substrates, including concrete, masonry, pavers, brick and stucco. Not recommended for non-porous substrates, e.g. metal, porcelain, glass, fiberglass.
NewLook's solid concrete stain is ideal for driveways, garage floors, pool decks, retail offices, restaurants, hotels, theme parks, shopping malls, schools, convention centers, and other high traffic areas. It may be used for interior or exterior, residential and commercial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
*Q: Do I HAVE to seal The ORIGINAL Solid Color Concrete Stain?
A: Not necessarily. You just need to decide what you want to maintain. If you seal it then, depending on the sealer, you'll need to maintain the sealer over time. If you don't seal it you'll just need to maintain the stain, which may mean applying additional coats as needed. Note: you must seal SmartColor and the Enhancers.
Q: Can I put the ORIGINAL Solid Color Stain over a sealer?
A: Yes, over SmartSeal WB. Until further notice, all other sealers need to be stripped and removed before installing the ORIGINAL Solid Color Stain.
Q: How many arms and legs must I pay for this miracle product?
A: None. At suggested pricing, The ORIGINAL Solid Color Stain can be as low as 33¢ per square foot (at 400 sf)--making it one of the most cost-effective solutions for making ugly concrete look brand new! Contact your local NewLook distributor for info.
Q: How long does The ORIGINAL Solid Color Stain last?
A: It depends on the wear and tear of the surface. For example, a stained driveway with light-to-moderate traffic might "last" 2 to 5 years before you might want to revitalize or maintain it. Sealing it will increase the longevity, too. Since The ORIGINAL Solid Color Stain is the most maintainable concrete stain on the market you do not have to spend time or money stripping a concrete sealer (unless you've sealed it with something other than SmartSeal WB). Simply pressure-wash and apply a single coat of stain, which translates into half the cost and time of the original application. Of course, this is assuming your concrete doesn't necessitate additional preparation.
Q: Is it normal to go through withdrawals when not using the ORIGINAL Solid Color Stain?
A: Yes. Most doctors recommend a steady dosage of 1 to 2 installation projects per week to maintain proper functioning. In case of emergency, contact NewLook directly at (801) 886-9495.
Q: Can ANYONE install the ORIGINAL Solid Color Stain?
A: We suppose so. It's not rocket science. But it is an industrial grade solution developed for professional installers who are trained and experienced in the use of this product.
