As anyone who’s attempted to
paint concrete themselves will tell you, it’s a notoriously difficult task especially if your going full DIY. Concrete is a porous material meaning liquid, such as paint, can seep into the interior, ruining the look of your week long project. The problems won’t stop there either, liquid trapped inside the concrete will, due to its water content, begin to grow mold. Got iron rebar or any other standard reinforcement? Water has the same effect it does outside of concrete, rust.
Before any of these issues are encountered, however, you must ensure all the expensive, one time use, equipment and chemicals are on hand and that you know how to use them.
Sounds like a nightmare, right? Why not let a
concrete contractor handle it for you, our experts come loaded with the equipment, chemicals and knowledge to properly prepare, paint and finish any concrete.

Colored Epoxy
It may surprise you to learn that among contractors, paint is consensus viewed as the easy (well, easier) way to add colour to your concrete. The other main option is epoxy coating.
Coloured epoxy coats work much in the same way as regular epoxy except the resin is tinted to the desired colour prior to being mixed with the polyamine hardener. If you wish to attempt to apply a
coloured epoxy by hand, we can happily offer a professional opinion and will say a prayer for you to succeed. In all seriousness though, epoxy coatings on concrete are incredibly easy to mess up and, with potentially toxic chemicals involved, can also be dangerous.
Difficulties aside, epoxy can be a far better choice, especially in the long run. For a start, once its cured, the concrete can have a
stain resistant, chemical proof layer on top of it that can last for years and years before any servicing is needed.
Clear Epoxy Resin Finish for Concrete
If you would prefer to keep the natural concrete look instead, epoxy may be the perfect finishing choice for you. Regular epoxy, that is without the tinted resin, will come with all the benefits of colored epoxy but, unsurprisingly, it has no color.
This means it will simply cure into a hardened, clear, protective layer on top. When using clear epoxy, it’s of paramount importance to properly prep the surface and ensure there’s no unappealing marks or physical blemishes before application as once its set, no concrete contractor is going to want to remove it. Here at Rancho Cucamonga Concrete, we pride ourselves on taking the extra time and care to ensure you won’t even have to think about such an issue!
Epoxy Paint
Sometimes, a hybrid option is available as
“epoxy paint”. To be clear, this is not an epoxy coating. Concrete paint is generally latex acrylic based, some manufacturers will add a small amount of epoxy to their paint to help with adhesion. This is epoxy paint. It is still just a type of paint and the name, in fact, came about largely as a marketing ploy when companies realized how many people were conflating the terms concrete paint and epoxy coating. Regardless of its origin story, epoxy paint is an option and it’s an option we’re the best in Rancho at!
