Navajo Antiquing Colour is not one of the easiest accent colours to use and can be quite costly but when added with the right darkening accents can be an amazing highlight that brings out the depth and makes any texture or stamp just POP in the light.
This colour is quite a bit lighter than natural concrete and is the lightest highlight offered.
All antiquing colours require the use of a sealant to lock in the colour. Keep in mind, that depending on the luster or type of sealant you may get a slightly varied clour from what is expected.
It is important with all concrete colours, that you keep an open mind to what the end colouring may be. There are a lot of factors that can determine the end result.

ANTIQUE RELEASE COLOURING is used as a bond breaker in the stamping process. It is a dust-on powder with water repellent properties that helps prevent wet concrete
from adhering to the polyurethane texture mat. Anitque release colouring is also used as a colouring agent, leaving a portion of the colour, usually darker than the
concrete colour, embedded in the low points of the newly textured concrete. This product should be broadcast in thin, even coats that overlap just enough to produce
a uniform layer on the slab surface. Release powder can be thrown by hand or with a 6” mason’s brush. Stamping can begin as soon as the release agent is applied.
Removal is accomplished by brushing then rinsing with a garden hose spray nozzle, light pressure wash, scrubbing, or buffing. Remove only enough to achieve desired antique effect.
