Anyone stain their shop's concrete floor?

[346ci]

I'm to the point where I need to seal my 40'x40' pad, it seems near impossible to keep oil and grease from finding its way onto the bare concrete. If its not wiped up quick, it soaks into the floor and takes some scrubbing to get out.

While I'm going to go through all the prep for a sealer, considering giving it a better looking and going with a stain then seal.

The YT videos look labor intensive but not hard, has anyone done this their self and it turn out ok?

Thanks

Thanks, looks like a good alternative to standard acid stain.

From the article, I would use the Delta Dye and then cover it with Nohr-S? I assume the Nohr-S is the hardest coating for a shop environment?

Very tough!

Got the sample kit, looking forward to working on the project.

I just did a concrete retaining wall with concrete dye from Home Depot. Came out very nice and you can seal over it. This is not stain, it's a dye and penetrates.
