“I’ve looked into concrete pigments for coloring plaster a number of times in the past. The liquid ones you can get at home improvement stores for concrete or grout never seem to work- they either take days to fully dry, never dry at all, or leave the castings really brittle. The problem with dry pigments, though, is that most places seem to only sell in 25 or 50 lb. quantities. Direct Colors sells 4 oz. and 8 oz. samples for $10 and $15, respectively. I bought a 4oz packet of the reddish color for making bricks, and a little goes a long long way. The pigments are really strong, and they are completely inert (I called and asked before ordering) so they don’t inhibit the plaster from setting. Great product.”

“Just wanted to extend my gratitude to you. Through my acid staining process you were very helpful and very honest. I spoke with Frank about my acid stain project and he advised me on some design elements and boy, did my patio come out good for my first time doing this. Next I will be doing my master bed and bath so I am sure you will be hearing from me again.”

“I am a very satisfied recent customer. I just placed my second order to complete my acid stained patio project and I am so excited to see how it turns out. It looks amazing so far! I will definitely recommend your products to everyone I know! Your customer service is also wonderful. Your staff answered all my questions without making me feel like a lesser person because a) I’m a woman and b) a DIY’er. I am so glad I found you guys! Thank you!”

“I am looking forward to my DIY Acid Stain project. Your website is very informational, wouldn’t have tried this project myself without it.”

“Thank you all for such a fine and beautiful product. I would like to the thank the gentleman I spoke with on the phone for his courtesy and professionalism. I’m looking forward to doing business with Direct Colors in the coming months. Again, thank you for your attention and your acid stain colors are beautiful!”

“Thank you for all the info. My basement guest suite kitchen floors look so awesome. The acid stain colors are Coffee and Black with Krystal Water Based Concrete Sealer and the Floor Wax and Polish.”

“Words cannot tell you how I appreciate the help you offered me Shawna!! Look how “Santa Fe” adobe color it turned out with the antique concrete stain product–and the seam mistake the contractor made is hidden and almost gone!! What he did applying the reddish stain on the seam was awful. I researched for hours and fixed it with YOUR help. I’m no cement genius but the Liquid Colored Antique product your company offers helped to fix the issue. The company locally that sells antique concrete stains did not have a product that could be applied over a sealant. Your product could be applied over sealant and then I resealed it with another coat.”

 

“Love, love, love your liquid colored antique and your service is outstanding!!!!!!!”

“I filmed this video in the upper level of my old loft, which was the first place I bought. See those shiny floors? I acid stained them myself. I can highly recommend Direct Colors acid stain if you have any desire to make concrete look awesome.”

“I want to commend Justin on his helpful technical advice. Justin returned our call in a timely manner and was very patient and thorough. All I can say is that I feel a lot calmer and now will go forward with a sense of accuracy and belief that this project go well. If it does, I will be able to add this concrete pigment product to help with a service that I plan to offer my clients. I am very excited and can hardly wait to start!”

“I have used your products to acid stain and seal the entire inside of my home back in 2007. So far so good! Now I have a concrete patio around 500′ sq with a pergola above it that I want to spray an overlay finish on with color mixed in!”

“I wanted to personally thank you for your donation of recycled glass aggregates to help University of Arkansas students. We are grateful your time and effort in working with us and providing the materials to us at no cost. Other companies haven’t been as supportive and we wanted to recognize your generosity. We’ll keep Direct Colors in mind when recommending products to others.”

“I have used your concrete overlay, pigments, acid stain and matte polyurethane countertop sealer for a few projects and would love to show you the latest countertop I did for a customer! It turned out gorgeous!  I love your acid stain and professional advice when I have a question! Thanks!”

“This is my second order and I am happy with the fast shipping and quality concrete countertop products. I think I’ve tried just about everything now! We love the acid stains and solvent based polyurethane!”

“I just ordered a 5 gal. Aztec Brown Liquid Antique. I Love, love your Liquid Colored Antique products! Makes our stamped concrete patio look awesome!”

“We used the Deco Gel Acid Stain Gel to create a beautiful rustic concrete countertop look.”

“Central Texas floods have us acid staining again 6 years later. This time all acid stained floors, zero carpet. Love Direct Colors acid stains and Krystal Kote Water Based Sealer. Saved $ with DIY.”

“Great products and price. I love not having to drive all over town to get the items I would need for my acid stain project. I also appreciate the quick processing and shipping.”
