    Hi we JUST finished up with the Behr dye kit-which I found to be very reasonable compared to buying all the necessary products separately. It was actually pretty easy to apply. In fact it was very easy to apply. The worst part is the prep of the cement. We pulled up carpet, and although the cement looked pretty good, we needed to do a lot of work! If there are any paint or glue marks-they have got to be removed! Now we chose not to repair a crack or a few spots that were chipped and I love the way it looks finished. The best part of this kit is the accent color. I was able to go through and "cover" up and spots that didn't look so hot. I will say that my color really doesn't look like the box, but we are still happy and saved money. Just remember, floor prep, floor prep, floor prep!! It is not easy but so worth it if you do it right. This first room was our trial run now we are going to do our patio and 2 other rooms.
