We first begin removing the flaky old paint it had with Sandblasting on all the coping & stamp concrete of the pool deck. This ensures better adhesion of the staining into the concrete. Sandblasting is the best choice to prepare any surface rather than hot water cleaning! After that we applied a high quality 2 system stain coat, which consist of the following: 1. Applying Primer 2. Staining ( We add a safe grip to make it less slipery when wet) 3. Sealing ( This helps prolong durabilty of stain)
