Anyone else ever stain their concrete?

I just poured a driveway at my house and then put a colored sealer on it, turned out really nice, there are lots of color to pick from and you can do it yourself with a paint roller, just make sure and stir the sealer every now and then to keep the color mixed in.

Terry - Thanks!
Marv- The stain actually moves into the concrete and is not affected by wear. The sealer is affected by wear and will need to be reapplied every few years, but it's really easy to do, much easier than the annual washing/retreating wood deck routine. Many malls, restaurants, etc... use concrete stain and it holds up well to foot traffic. We don't have that many parties!

Thanks Art. I will compare the difference in price. Haven't looked at that, but I imagine the colored concrete is more expensive. So if the stain holds up well and costs significantly less, I'll go for that.

Just once, at a party. It hosed off the next day.
