Painting a concrete floor is a great way to seal and improve the look and performance of the floor. Because concrete has special characteristics, however, it also has special needs when it comes to being painted. To get the best results for your floor, plan on giving the project at least 2 weeks to complete.
Clean the Concrete Thoroughly
The concrete must be completely clear in order to allow the sealers and paints to bond properly. Use two different products to clean the concrete; one to remove the dirt and debris and a second that is made to remove the efflorescence, the white powder that sometimes develops on damp concrete.
Sweep away any dirt, debris, old paint flakes or efflorescence from the floor
Apply a Sealer to the Concrete Floor
The sealer will help prevent moisture from coming through the floor and ruining the paint job.
Apply a Concrete Primer to the Concrete Floor
The primer will fill any small gaps or voids in the floor and will help give it a smooth appearance.
