I had this product on my pool deck. It might help to mention the general area you're in. I'm in central Florida and the sun is absolutely BRUTAL on exterior coatings. And while that's a fact, it's also a fact that this product started chipping, flaking, and peeling in areas in under 2 years. Sorry, but that's unacceptable. I spent a year simply fixing/repainting areas, but this year I'm blasting it all off and redoing it all with a new product. This might be a decent solution in a milder climate, but it didn't impress me for central Florida.
We had some flaking when we pressure washed it. I recently had some new concrete poured and it seems to adhere much better to bare concrete than it does previously painted surfaces- even when using their primer. My only complaint is that when we went back to get more for touch ups it doesn’t match. Not sure if Dyco changed the formula or if it just got that much darker over time.
I wish I saw this before I put this down. We had a light beige painted pool deck that we needed to repaint. Based on the colors on the can, the guy at Lowe’s recommended bone. Got it home and did a few strokes and it was pretty much white with a slight gray in it. Not even close. Immediately Brought it back and got khaki. We put that down but it is basically an off white also. It seems like all the colors are much much lighter than what is on the can. Not super happy with the color either but it’ll have to do for now. I do agree that it was easy to put down - just like painting a house. Next time maybe I’ll spend 2x-3x as much and get the Kool Deck stuff.
@@brettnopper7902 I just put it down (2 coats) 4 days ago so, so far it is doing great 😃I am hopeful it will last a few years. The price was right at least. I didn't do much prep work either. I just power washed, caulked any cracks, vacuumed the pool deck and then rolled the paint on.
@@brettnopper7902 I had very small cracks. I just used DAP Concrete Siliconized Filler & Sealant that I got at Lowes for like $9. I did a thin line down each crack and then used a plastic putty knife to pick up excess and/or spread it a bit. I then followed up with a dry sponge to try to smooth it out and blend it better with the concrete. I should have blended more with the sponge though since I can see where the cracks I filled were (looks fine but id rather not see them at all).
@@shaneflowers418 Ok, good. Thank you for the update because I'm trying to decide if I want to buy this paint or my original sherwin williams product which was twice the price.
@@charleschen8784 if it’s bare concrete I would go with Dyco or another concrete stain. If it’s previously painted, sherwin Williams might be better. We had to use the Dyco primer since ours was previously painted. I’m a fan of SW products but our local stores haven’t had decent inventory in a while.
@@shaneflowers418 Yes, that's a good call. I'm probably just going to buy 3 gallons of the sherwin williams stuff in the same color rather than 5 gallons of dyco. Mainly, I want to cover up the rust spots from my wife's plant stands and some high traffic areas where the cream color paint is showing through.
The color has darkened just a tad so overall we are happy with it. We had one or two very small areas that didn’t adhere but otherwise it’s been great. Seems to be holding up well.
I had some flaking when I recently pressure washed it. I primed those areas and touched them up with left over stain. Probably a quart worth of touch up. It seems to adhere much better to the areas that were not previously painted.
So far we’ve only had to touch up a few small areas after pressure washing. I primed them again and made sure to wait at least 8 hours for the primer to cure.
i have used this pool deck stain and is horrible.. after one year it will flake away. It is cheap by comparison. If you dont mind a quick look before you sell your home or dont mind painting every year.. go this route

hows it seem to be holding up? I'm considering using it on my pool deck

@@markfinnegan6038 what kind of stuff did you put down for cracks?

@@markfinnegan6038is it holding up?
From other reviews I read, the non-skid additive is what's changing your color.
The color seems to be closer now that it’s cured for a while. Overall we are happy with how it turned out.

Our pool was installed last Sept.... plain untreated brushed concrete..... shouldnt be slippery when wet after this product right?
I would still use the anti slip additive. It’s cheap and not hard on the feet at all.
Hey Shane, outside of the color - a few months later, how is it holding up? Would you use it again?
The color has darkened just a tad so overall we are happy with it. We had one or two very small areas that didn’t adhere but otherwise it’s been great. Seems to be holding up well.
Hi Shane. I’m considering using this on my pool coping. How has it held up 9 months later? Any flaking or peeling anywhere?
I had some flaking when I recently pressure washed it. I primed those areas and touched them up with left over stain. Probably a quart worth of touch up. It seems to adhere much better to the areas that were not previously painted.
@@shaneflowers418 thx! Did you use dyco’s primer as well?
@@jakemarsh06 yes I did. I’m not 100% sure we let the primer dry a full 8 hours before we topcoated last time so that might explain the flaking.
@@shaneflowers418 thx! Last question, did you put any sealant down over the paint/stain after it dried?
@@jakemarsh06 no
How has this held up over time?
So far we’ve only had to touch up a few small areas after pressure washing. I primed them again and made sure to wait at least 8 hours for the primer to cure.
