Abstract: Disclosed are a coated concrete substrate and a process for coating the substrate. The process includes applying a colored polymer-enhanced grout coating and allowing it to cure. A template without adhesive backing is applied over the coating layer. The template is removed after the coating layer is cured. A primer is applied over the coating layer, for providing good cohesive and adhesive properties. A sealer is applied over the cured primer layer, for providing chemical resistance and UV protection. The resulted coated concrete surface is decorative, durable, resilient, stain, chemical resisting, UV protecting, and has the appearance of brick or ceramic tile.
