Oceanside Antiquing / Accenting Colour is the lightest of the grey family.
It is a great option for adding a highlight look to create depth with stamped and textured concrete.
It is a very subtle highlight, but it is lighter than a lot of natural concrete colours once sealed.
If you combine this colour with darker accents such as Midnight Gray you can add a lot of depth.
As you can see in the graphic, the colouring is not a solid colouring like you would find with ready mix concrete. Water based colouring is semi-translucent and still allows a lot of the natural concrete to come through.
As concrete is quite porous, the water based stain is very effective in maintaining a long term and resilient colouring prior to sealing the concrete.

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.
