Short answer yes, however, be sure you have "shark grip" or equal added to your coating or you may end up with a very slippery surface when it is wet.
NOTE: most coatings will give the concrete a wet concrete look, in other words, take your driveway, pour water on it, and this is approximately the final color you will get with a clear coating, it may be much darker then when the concrete is dry.
