How to paint vinyl kitchen floor?
What kind of paint won't scrape or wash off a black and white vinyl kitchen floor. I hate the white, which always looks dirty, and hope there's some product that will help make it look better. it needs replacing but the next owner surely will want to rehab the kitchen, so this would be a temporary "fix."

Maybe you should give the floor a coat of kills or stix to help the paint stick to the floor. As for the paint I would ask a true house painter
Nothing will "paint over" vinyl. The least expensive, is to buy peel and stick tile of some other type, and lay it over the existing. That is a temporary fix. The real way is to remove and replace.

Cheapest to replace vinyl flooring
Yes, vinyl flooring can be painted over!! Clean good with TSP, this is a cleanser that pretty much takes everything dirty off. Then use a good latex paint; these new paints have some that can be specifically used on floors. When I did mine I used an Olympic latex doing two coats and then stenciled stepping stones on it. I then covered with a satin clear coat. That was 15 years ago and the only thing I did was to put another clear coat on several years after it was first completed.
