[GBlist] Stained Concrete

All the stained concrete I have specified has been for good size commercial
projects.  I have always been pleased with the results.  If you are not
trying to achieve a perfectly even opaque finish (as with paint) you will be
too.  It goes down well over new and old concrete with different
effects--but I like the marbled finish staining gives.  It is just about the
most inexpensive finish you can apply to a floor and it demands very little
maintenance.  L.M. Scoffield makes a good line of stains.
