DCSURFACES Acid Stain Colors

All color chart samples were created using DCsurfaces Acid Stain Overlay as the base.  Using the acid stain on other surfaces including bare concrete, white concrete, etc. will result in a different reaction.  We strongly recommending trying a test spot or making a sample first. 

Use the acid at 100% concentration for many, vibrant colors creating a very dramatic look.

Diluted the acid up to a 1 to 1 ratio for a muted, softer color variation.
