As near as I can tell, curing seal is a waxy compound that stretches cure time by sealing moisture and heat in during the process.

I'm no expert, but it seems to me that it would be pointless to spray it on cured concrete, it would be like buying a pot at a pottery store, and going home to put it in a kiln: That train has already departed the station.

Kevin is right though, color in concrete is really about the shade of the cementous component, the aggregate, and any tinctures included in the mix. Concrete can be stained just like wood is, and there are members here that are experts at it. Jim Carroll and Celeste (CPW) are two that leap to mind.

When I first got started, a customer site was next-door to a concrete outfit that handled jobs from resi to heavy-highway to bridgework, and they had hundreds of empty IBC's they were trying to get rid of.

Unfortunately, they had been filled with curing seal, and the banjo fittings and interiors were caked with wax build-up that I wasn't too hip on trying to remove. That is my total experience with curing seal.
