DO NOT use on Garage Floors, Driveways, around Swimming Pools or on concrete that is subjected to high levels of moisture. (The following steps are required.) New concrete must cure for a minimum of 30 days. Protect surrounding areas. Do not apply tape to surfaces that have been coated with the dyes or sealer as the adhesives may remove the coatings. For proper penetration and adhesion, must etch with a product such as BEHR PREMIUM® No. 991 Concrete & Masonry Cleaner & Etcher. Remove severe stains using a product such as BEHR PREMIUM No. 990 Concrete & Masonry Degreaser & Cleaner. The floor must be thoroughly cleaned, completely rinsed, and dry. For interior application, use a mop and bucket to rinse and clean. Important: Failure to completely rinse the concrete surface may result in adhesion issues. SURFACE MUST BE CLEAN AND ETCHED. PUMP SPRAYER BEHR PREMIUM Decorative Concrete Dye must be applied with a high quality pump sprayer with a conical tip. Do not use a pump sprayer with a fan tip. Read all manufacturers’ assembly and operating instructions carefully before using the pump sprayer. When not in use, soak the tip of the pump sprayer in water to prevent the tip from becoming clogged. DO NOT THIN. Stir product in can before pouring into the pump sprayer. Use product when air and surface temperatures are between 50–90° F (10-32° C). Do not apply if heavy winds are blowing or if rain is expected within 24 hours. Important: Test a small inconspicuous area to ensure color satisfaction. LIMITED WARRANTY Behr Process Corporation warrants that this product meets Behr’s manufacturing specifications.

Dry to Touch for Dyes 24 Hr. Before Clear Top Coat Applied Must Use With Etcher & Sealer FIRST COLOR (BASE COLOR) A light tone color is ideal for a base color. Fill the pump sprayer with first color and fully pressurize. Tip: Adjust the pump sprayer nozzle tip until you reach a fine mist setting. Practice spraying on a piece of cardboard or newspaper. Apply Concrete Dye using a random or figure eight motion. Refrain from covering the concrete surface with an even, steady stream as this could lead to a monochromatic look rather than a variegated look. Hold the spray tip approximately 10 inches above the concrete surface. If you need to stop during application step, use natural break points such as borders, walls or expansion joints. Important: To prevent drips from getting on the surface, use a rag to catch any drips when stopping the sprayer. Allow first color (Base Color) to dry to the touch before applying a second color (Accent Color). Do not walk on wet Dyes. Save any unused product for future touch-ups. SECOND COLOR (ACCENT COLOR) A dark tone color is ideal for an accent color. Flush pump sprayer and wand out with fresh water. Add second color to clean pump sprayer and fully pressurize. Apply second color in a light random pattern. Be careful not to cover first color completely. CLEAR TOP COAT To complete the project and add a clear protective finish, it is required to apply a product such as BEHR PREMIUM No. 985 Wet-Look Sealer. Flush pump sprayer and wand out with fresh water. Allow dyes to dry 24 hours before applying Wet-Look Sealer. Add Wet-Look Sealer to a clean pump sprayer, fully pressurize then apply. Follow all label instructions. CLEAN UP Clean with soap and water. Properly dispose of all soiled rags and protect unused product from freezing.
