Rust-Oleum Stoneffects Decorative Quartz Stone & Concrete Coating Paint, Slate Grey, 3.47-L

Read various reviews on various sites regarding product. Many have posted that it doesn’t hold up well to the elements and within a year your left disappointed. Fortunately for me I was looking to use it indoors for our basement stairs and it’s held up fantastic!! Anyone that has used it for an indoor project is extremely satisfied. Anyone that has used it outdoors, even though the product states it can be used out doors, has had a negative experience. PROS: end result looks incredible! Very easy to apply with the stone quarts roller (sold separately) which I highly recommend using! It’s basically I textured roller allowing for the product to take effect. It also has anti-slip properties which was a major bonus for me using on basement stairs. CONS: this product has 2 major CONS that everyone that has ever used it says the same. First being cost. Like anything else you get what you pay for. However for the cost you sure don’t get much and single can does not stretch far. It took me 2 full can just to complete my stairs. So if your project area is larger, expect to spend $$$$$$ TIPS: store can upside down for 2 full hours before use as the product properties float to the bottom of the can while sitting months on the store shelf. Once open very important to use a drill mix to thoroughly mix the product. Use a textured roller, preferably the Recommended Rust-Oleum roller. Keep in mind the first coat after it dries will look terrible! This is by design because it takes 2 thick coats to apply properly. After the second coat dries you will still see some small bald spot sections. At this final stage you just use a regular paint brush to dab any weak spots. Expect long dry times with coat 1&2. The product goes on milky but dries to expected colour. It’s not until the milk clears before you’re able to determine what spots will need more product application. FINALLY: the product worked great for our individual need indoors. I would NOT trust to use the product outdoors. Not speaking from my experience, just saw many online reviews and pictures that used it outdoors. It started out great and ended in tragedy within a year. Indoors it has held up amazing away from the elements. Like any DIY project. It takes time and effort to get your result. Tough pill for some to swallow as we live in an instant gratification world. 4 stars as the cost for return amount is a severely deterring factor.

I purchased this product over two years ago for an entry hall to our garage. And yes, it was difficult to put on and it spread unevenly, I just kept on adding more until the coverage was solid and complete. Yes it does require more product to cover an area, but we have found it worth it for smaller high traffic areas. It has stood up to an immense amount of wear and flooding.. but it cleans up nicely.. colour changes slightly when wet, but dries back to original colour not leaving any water stains at all .. no tears or gaps!!! We are renovating the area to include a laundry room and I will be purchasing this item again to fill in the spots that had been covered but a wooden conduit. Totally satisfied customer

j'ai acheter ce produit et il est pas recommander ,il est difficile a appliquer et couvre pas beaucoup ,a y penser avant de acheter

Takes many many cans of this to achieve good coverage even with the special roller. Very costly and I will definitely look for other options next time.

it was very hard to spread. could not use a roller. very disappointed with this
