: : I have made a business in Texas staining and stenciling driveways and walks. I use H & C stains and they work well for me. Just make sure that you acid wash and use degreaser to clean the driveway very well before applying the stain. : : and products (especially in Australia) who offer services in stencilling and : : stamping. I had to dig a bit for stencilling existing concrete. Be sure : : that you acid wash (surface etch) the drive and take care of any cracks : : which may have developed. Many of the stenciling or staining is done while : : the concrete is still wet. Note that staining is different from painting : : and for the drive you really want the stain. : : Check these articles. : : http://www.concretenetwork.com/concrete/stenciling_concrete/applying_decorat : : ive_stencils_to_existing_concrete.htm : : http://www.concretenetwork.com/concrete/decorative/stencilconcrete.htm : : http://www.sabuilders.com/sabuilders/articles/12-14RC.html : : http://www.dresslerstencils.com/resource_guide/techniques/technique_16.cfm.c : : fm?CFID=72441&CFTOKEN=65660584 : : http://www.hometips.com/help/con2.html : : http://www.sherwinwilliams.com/DIY/exterior/paint/walkways/hc-decorate.asp : : http://www.sherwinwilliams.com/DIY/exterior/paint/walkways/masonry2.asp : : http://bobvila.com/cbstip/cementpa.htm (interior) : : Stamped concrete: : : http://dsc.discovery.com/dscdaytime/michaelholigan/project.jsp?segment=6029 : : Suppliers and Vendors: : : http://www.artcrete.com/ : : http://www.stencilsystems.com/ : : http://www.stencilcrete.com/ : : http://www.fauxbrick.com/ : : http://www.murrayconcrete.com/index3.html : : http://www.koverkrete.com/ : : http://www.concrete-coatings.com/products.html : : http://www.hardscapes.com/hardscapes/index.html : : http://www.pcinews.com/concrete/00con3su/decorati/decora1.htm : : http://www.groningerconcrete.com/decorative.html : : http://www.4greatconcrete.com/Stenciling.htm : : http://www.concretecoatingsinc.com/faq.html : : http://www.plasticforms.com/acid.htm : : http://www.coloration.com/stencil.htm : : http://www.concretesolutions.com/applications.html : : http://www.concretetycoon.com/techniques.htm : : http://www.cdcrete.com/ ($3.00/sq ft) : : Directories: : : http://www.dmoz.org/Business/Industries/Construction_and_Maintenance/Materia : : ls_and_Supplies/Concrete/Concrete_Decorative_Finishes/ : : http://www.builderdirectory.com/materials/concrete.htm : : Europe: : : http://www.cobblestone-europe.com/cobblestone/cobblestone/stencilcrete/stenc : : il.html : : Australia: : : http://www.texcrete.com.au/ : : http://www.stamped-concrete.com.au/ : : http://www.spec-net.com.au/company/fauxbric.htm : : http://www.waterproofing-supplies.com.au/texcretewwis/stencil.html : : http://www.stencilpavingsystems.com.au/ : : http://www.htech.com.au/stencil.html : : http://www.cci.com.mt/secondlevel/stenciled.html (Malta)
