    Staining concrete
    After removing old paint from a concrete patio, can I just stain? Or should I do more to improve the outcome of the looks & last of the new stain, also can I use stain with multiple colors to achieve to look of rock at the same time?

    Almost

    or should I do more to improve the outcome of the looks & last of the new stain,
    That depends on the manfu specs of what you are going to choose.

    also can I use stain with multiple colors to achieve to look of rock at the same time?
    Again depends on how they stain is applied and what your skill level is
