Yes I buy 1 quart cans of pigment from our local hardware store and mix 5 gallons of used motor oil with half a can of pigment. The resulting paint rolls, spray or brushes on great but takes about a month to soak into the wood. Recommended only for use on unpainted wood since motor oil, by design, virtually never dries but will soak into bare or stained wood.

Yes you can use wood stain on concrete but it will not penetrate the concrete, it does look nice and you can use different shades together. To keep the stain on it use a concrete sealer in a couple coats, it will give it a shiny wet look. I have tried it with fake wood only because where I live I can't get concrete stain. And it looks great.
