So my wife and I deliberate over projects for far too long.

One that we have been mulling over is staining the back patio concrete slab.

It's something we definitely want to do its just what style.

It gets an ungodly amount of TX sun so a dark color is not my choice. I think it would retain too much heat.

However, there are a couple of spots that have rust stains from things like the decorative water hose container thingy.

I actually like the look of rust stained concrete.

What do we think would be the easiest way to rust stain roughly 500-600 sq ft of slab?

An even consistent coverage like something painted is not the desired look.

Something with random natural variety is preferred as long as I get 100% coverage as in no bare concrete spots.

Am I nuts?

Doable?

Shut up and let your wife hire someone to do what she wants and resign your role to writing a check?
