I wanted to try something different with this project. If it did not work out, I could always go back and really paint the concrete. However, I had a concrete stain that I thought might do a good job of giving me a mottled concrete appearance. I plan on going back over it with black brown powders to produce a dirty concrete appearance and I thought that the stain might be a better alternative to accomplish this. This is what the stained concrete looks like 2-3 hours after staining. It is not completely dry yet so its appearance might change more.
