Good luck!
You can pretty much paint everything these days with the right prep work and paint. But I have a question,why paint a surface that gets the most wear and tear? Why not break up the black by paint the vanity? It gets the least wear of the three. It would break up the black as well. If your heart is set on the floor make sure that you only use all cotton rugs no rubber so that with the humidity it doesn't ruin your floor when you go to lift them up to wash them.
Yes it can. First you must clean it thoroughly with TSP and rinse, then let it dry. Then you will need to prime it. The trick here is to use a bonding primer, not your standard wall primer. Apply your bonding primer and let dry. Once your floor is dry you can paint it with any good quality paint.
There are several paints at Lowe’s or Home Depot that can be used as well as sealers. Check with their professionals.
I’ve been told they are made of clay. They measure approximately 4”x8” and are arranged in a herringbone pattern. They’re almost 1/2” thick and seem indestructible. They were installed about 30 years ago.
thanks for the suggestion!
