- Painting concrete flooring |
Dear Shell, I would like to paint my unpainted concrete basement floor so that it is attractive but I don't want to just use the grey concrete paint that I see available. Do you have a suggestion as to what type of paint I can use so that I won't have to repaint every couple of years? Thanks, Chris Dear Chris, The most important detail here is preparation. 1. First acid etch the concrete with muriatic acid 5 parts water to 1 part acid (follow safety instructions). Rinse well and allow to dry. 2. Apply a concrete sealer i.e. Behr Concrete Sealer Coat 3. Apply 2 coats Behr 1 Part Epoxy Garage Floor Paint (very hard wearing) It's just that easy. Article courtesy of: Shell Busey |
