Concrete​ Paint Or Stain

They claim paint is the best option for dressing up concrete. Before you can decide which option is best for
you, you need to look at the real differences between the two.

The biggest difference between concrete stain and paint is
how they cover concrete. When you use indoor or outdoor concrete paint, it stays right on top of the concrete, where it provides a layer of protection. This opaque paint comes in various colors, allowing you to choose a color scheme for your concrete.

On the other hand, stain actually soaks into the concrete. When it permeates the concrete, it creates a unique look that you can’t achieve with opaque paint. For instance, SunAcid is a reactive acid stain that reacts with the salts and minerals in the concrete. The end result is a translucent mottled look that is impossible to create with
paint.
