Hi Jan,
Here's an article with several ideas about painting a design on a linoleum floor. Click on the link for each project for directions. Of course, you don't have to actually paint a design. You can paint it a solid color. In that case, check out any of the paint designs for the basics. Preparation is the key to success here and it's best to use a paint designed for floors. Other than that, it's a process. Sand, clean, prime, paint, seal. That may sound like a lot of steps, but if you want the floor to last longer it's the best way to go. It's also a good idea to give the floor an extra coat of sealer every year or so. That helps protect it even longer. Wishing you the best.

Hi Jan!
Personally we always use Benjamin Moore paint. It goes on very nicely and does not take as many coats as other paints.
