Cost of Thin Concrete Overlay

Can anyone provide a ball park idea of what it would cost for doing a thin concrete overlay (stamped or stained design) on top of a small (15x10) concrete slab front porch? I've looked on the internet but could not find anything.

Thanks
Ken

how thin? anything less than an inch without some sort of screening is gonna crack. flagstone in quickset and grouting may be the way to go.

Yep, I agree, you wouldn't want to lay any concrete less than an 1" thick, in fact I wouldn't do it unless it was a min. of 2" and at 2" you won't get much of a stamp inlay as the lower part of the stamp will reduce your overall thickness.
