Hi
I have been looking for information on "Acid Etching" concrete. Not wood finishing I know, but finishinig all the same. The process involves coloring and etching the concrete and then coating with a clear sealer.
I have seen all the references for the materials on US sites, but can't find anywhere in Aus to buy it.
Does anyone know of a supplier in Aus.?

Thanks
Woodcutta

White Knight paints have a range of paints and also an etch

This is available at both Bunnings and Mitre10

Also find a local Concretors Warehouse and check out their range (solvent based for a real high). I got a light grey for my shed (added some anti-slip in the final coat) and it worked great. Being solvent based you'll need some breathing gear and safety stuff.
