If you haven't cut concrete before and don't have the right tooling or machines there are some other systems you could use.
Vortex has the dot system but I think John is right by suggesting a topical colored sealer.
If the concrete isn't damaged or in need of any repair you might consider just using a colored epoxy as well.
Bonstone makes a commercial grade epoxy that will work well on garage floors.
Sherwin williams makes a concrete stain that goes on like paint then you can coat it. They have some good coatings.
Ameripolish has a multitude of products and they are great to speak with a s well.

Barry,

To do this quick and inexpensive I would use Richard James Chemical TK6 this product can be tinted any color and the prep is simple a deep cleaning spray down ,back roll with a roller and then apply one of the StoneLoc finishes. The TK6 can be a solid color or a transparent color. call Rebecca at Richard James and she can fill in the blanks on application sq. ft. etc.

Hi Partners,

I am helping a friend who wants to stain his garage floor (rented space) and I have never stained concrete.  He is not trying to create a masterpiece; he only wants uniform color at a good price point.  My first question is acid versus acrylic stain; what is the best and fastest way to go?  My next question is sealer.  It looks like most concrete sealers are topical; must I use a sealer specifically formulated for concrete?  I bought several gallons of scc color enhancing solvent penetrating sealer that I don't use much and I would like to use it.  Would this create a problem?  Thanks in advance for your help.

Barry
