Ghostshield 1500 stain with 8510 sealer?

[AdamLym]

I’m a couple weeks away from applying the Ghostshield 4500/8510 in my shop. Does anyone know if their 1500 water based stain is compatible with the 4500/8510 system? If so, what order would they be applied in? 4500>1500>8510 or 1500>4500>8510?

I fully understand the color of the stain will not ‘pop’ like it would with a clear coat - I’m simply interested in darkening up my slab a few shades.

I attempted to call Ghostshield directly but they are closed on the weekends.

Thanks for any help!

From the tds sheet.

“ Sealing
1. A sealer is required after staining to ensure long lasting protection and/or enhanced color of the final project. Allow the stain to cure for at least 24 hours before sealing. “

I used acid stain prior to my 8505 application. Never will have grey concrete again.
If they had this as a product when I did mine, I would have used four colors without a doubt.

Thanks RPH. I saw that after I posted. What color did you go with?

I assume you stained before applying the 4500 densifier?

Stain before any Ghostshield. I went with 4 different colors of acid stain. Due to the nature of the stain reacting with the concrete some colors are brighter than others. But if the light is right those subdued colors can be seen. It will break the grey look and yours being water based allows better control if you use a pattern in the process.
