yeah i did some a few years   back and it worked pretty good, there were 6 colors; peach white grey etc. i think it was alpha , i remember i bought them through a local tile distrubtor , i just coated it with wax when i was done...a lot cheaper option is just get some waterbased concrete stain and let it soak in. i would just work it in with a rag or sponge then seal it

 Hi.  I have a Terra cotta tiled floor
 that has some water damage.  Mainly the issue is salt
 deposits that have risen to the surface under the glossy
 sealer.  My plan is to strip off the top coat and treat
 with a color enhancer/efflourescence remover like aquamix or
 aldon, and then recoat.  There are, however, some areas
 that have greyed out a bit and I was wondering if anyone has
 tried dying the surface of the terra cotta to further
 enhance/lock in the color?  I recall seeing a website that
 has something like this but I can't remember where, and
 not much comes up on google.
 Thanks,
 Baird
