Sherrie · Answer

You can on epoxy garage floors.  Call the paint manufactor and ask them.  Our garage floor is sealed.  Also love your floor!

Taffetal · Answer

What kind of paint did you use on your floor? It looks fantastic.

Sue Sanders · Answer

Hope someone can give you the answer for shine because your floor looks great. I might try painting instead of replacing as can get very expensive. Never even thought of paint as afraid it would chip easily.

I painted our kitchen and bathroom vinyl floor in our former home. Lasted for years. However when it did look like it needed a facelift, it was easily painted over again :-) If I wanted it to shine I used an acrylic floor wax. You could remove that if necessry too, just by washing with ammonia/water. LOVE painted old vinyl floors :-)

You can coat most epoxy paints with acrylic wax, but I would get with the supplier where you got it just to be sure. Also the manufacturer should have a website where you could get the info you need..

Congratulations! You're a nervy gal. I have had ugly, UGLY, wooden floors for years and have thought of painting them, but just couldn't get up the nerve. Good for you! Post a pic after the shine.
