alternative to floor tiles and paint

[87GN]

I came accross this while searching for colored concrete for my new garage. Does anybody have any experience with this? It sure looks like a better alternative than the d.i.y. coatings and tile. It appears to be between $6-$8/sq ft, but I guess if it's permanent, it's worth it as opposed to redoing the floor every couple of years. Plus, they have 170 different colors! The website is www.permacrete.com
Any thoughts on it? Thanks.

Yes it is. My company has looked into this and others mainly acid staining. Acid staining is cheaper and gives a very unique look to the floor. A lot of resturants, upscale shops and motorcycle dealerships are using it. The neat thing is the small cracks in the concrete end up with a real nice pattern. plus it is sealed.

Where can we learn more about the Acid Staining that you mention, also can it be used on existing concrete as opposed to just being usefull on freshly poured crete. Thanks.

Yeah acid staining sounds interesting. How does cleaning up an oil spill go on an acid stained floor?
