How To Paint Your Concrete Floor. Excellent Result. Save$$$

- In this video, I paint a nasty old stained, green concrete floor with a classy deep grey paving paint to finish off a simple but very stylish space.
In the previous video (link below), I paint the old stained, brown wall bricks of the same space (small studio/ work area) with a lovely bright white colour, to take advantage of a very small but well lit room.
Both these easy DIY jobs are inexpensive to complete yet they give a stunning result that completely changes the feel of the space.
Cheers, Mark. 👍

i am going to paint the showroom. i was determined to proceed with epoxy but afterwatching this video my mind changed.
Good luck! 👍
This is one of the best basement floor painting I've seen! I've been watching many on youtube as I get ready to paint my basement. I was going to use epoxy but saw the reviews and did research, eh, I decided not to bother with it. So paint it is😍 Thank you!!
Thanks for that, glad you enjoyed the video. Good luck with your project!

Good luck!! 🙂
Very nice.

great work fella
Cheers! 👍
You did not just paint next to the walls without taping then first!! What a steady hand, god damn!
I wish! There is a very slight gap between the floor and the wall, so the bristles of the brush could slide through without touching the wall. Otherwise the tape would have come out! Thanks for watching, cheers!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
I had my livingroom floor redone last year and was going to tile my kitchen but then I though about painting it instead. After watching several videos and how easy you make it look, that's what I shall do.
Nice one! Should look great in your kitchen. Cheers, Mark.
U made to your floor remarkable
Cheers, Thanks for watching!

If you were to add a protective layer (if you used water base paint) what would you use? Poly??
Yes, probably a poly type product but some variables to consider are moisture content of the area and type of exposure such as foot traffic and so on. I would consult with my hardware retailer first. Cheers.
Nice job! How long that last for the nice looking?
Thanks! I re-coat it about once a year. I have a slight water seepage issue in the concrete base and so I didn't seal it as i knew it would need re-painting at some stage. If you have no such moisture issues and the concrete is cleaned and prepared correctly and the correct paint is used followed by a suitable sealer it should last for years with just normal cleaning. Cheers, thanks for watching and commenting! 👍
How is that floor holding up. It seems u did minimal prep/cleaning. I ask because I've seen people go to great lengths to get their floor clean. I want to do this in my apartment. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Yes, I checked with a floor coating professional and he said that as the floor has been painted previously, a sand, wash and detail vacuum should suffice. I could have gone for an acid wash as well but I decided not to. I would probably do the acid wash if I was to do it again. The area near the wall water pipe became white after several months but this was due to water seeping up through the concrete and it also made the foot traffic area age prematurely. This floor was a small area to cover so I easily re-painted it and will need to do it again within 12 months. The room is also located off the rear of the main unit and does not endure high usage. For an interior area or a high usage area I would acid wash first and have any issues/repairs attended to first (such as the water seepage). Thanks for watching, Mark.
How is holding up? Did you put a sealer on it?
I noticed, after a couple of months, a little 'whitening' of the painted surface around where the water pipe comes through the floor to the wall and discovered that there is a little moisture seepage up through the concrete. As a result I gave it another coat and may need to do this once a year or so. I didn't put a sealer on it and in this case it was probably a good thing. If there was no moisture seepage though, a sealer might be wise. Thanks for watching!
Hi Mark,
Just wondering what type of paint you used? If you wouldn't mind sharing the specifics (brand, type etc..) that would be great!
Hi Maddy, I used Berger paint, Jet Dry, Non Slip, Flat, Extra Deep and the colour is 'Night Flight'. I purchased the paint at Bunnings Hardware in Australia. Cheers, Mark.
I am in South Africa,is this normal wall paint....or is there is specific paint for cement floors.(dumb q) ....but still wondering.
@@sunflower260285 Hi Candice, it's paint specifically for cement floors, so when you go to your hardware store they should have non slip cement floor paint that's made for this purpose. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Mark.
Did you repair the cracks in the cement first? if so what did you use?
No, what I showed is what I did.
Is this paint is just for indoor or can be used outdoor as well, like verandah? You done a really good job...
The paint I used has a flat non-slip finish and is suitable for outdoor and indoor. Just check on the tin for the manufacturers recommendation. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@MarkdoesDIY thank you for reply. Your video saved my verandah😊...
How's it holding up? Any peeling?
No peeling but the area around the water pipe has a slow moisture weep up through the concrete and this has made the immediate surface area slowly go a little white in colour. Not really a problem as it's a small total area and I'm happy to re-paint. Cheers, thanks for watching!
Hi, I got a question, can we re paint the driveway without removing the existing paint?
I did a job which was painted, I repainted but after a few weeks start peel off the paint from driveway surfaces.
I
It sounds like you may need someone to go and examine the area to be painted. As it's a driveway and doing more work. Also condition of concrete and any moisture issues may come into play. Cheers, good luck! 👍
Vin diesel?
Hi, what kind of paint did you use for this?
Hi there, I used Berger paint, Jet Dry, Non Slip, Flat, Extra Deep and the colour is 'Night Flight'.
I purchased the paint at Bunnings Hardware in Australia but if you go to your local hardware/paint shop they will have similar paint that is suitable for concrete floors. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Mark
Mel Gibson?
What etching acid do you recommend?
My floor had already been treated and painted so I hand sanded it in a couple of areas and just thoroughly washed and vacuumed it and didn't use any etching acid.
@@MarkdoesDIY I saw that you did mention you didn't have to use any and that's why I asked if there's one that you could recommend?
@@georgejrpetre6155 I asked a local floor finisher here in Australia and he said that they all should be effective. Just ensure that you get 'acid etch concrete'. Cheers.
you didn't use a sealer?
Hi George, I checked with a professional floor coater first and was advised that as the surface had already been painted that it should just need a good clean first and as it is not outside that a sealer probably isn't necessary. However, if i was to do it again I would use an acid wash first and a sealer at the end . Cheers, Mark.
Is it oil paint?
Yes, it's 'fast drying' oil based paint. Cheers 👍
What is the price
So, all up including the paint, tape, brushes, rollers etc it cost me approx. $130 AUD, which is $90 USD. Cheers!
How come it’s not shiny?
I discovered just after completing the floor that the old concrete had a very slight water seepage and will periodically leave water marks on the painted surface (near the water pipe). So I decided not to put a clear coat on the top as it will need to be re-painted when the water mark becomes too visible. That's why it's not shiny. Thanks for watching, Cheers!
Thanks for the video. However I think I’m funny sometimes so I’m going to go out on a limb here and hope I don’t offend you. 😊.
Your vacuum cleaner is cordless, but your microphone isn’t... that blows me away
Hahaha...yeah, good observation! Just using what I've got 'on hand' at the time! Thanks for watching and commenting!👍
@@MarkdoesDIY My four year old was in the basement with me and told me I needed to paint the floor and fix the window. He gives me jobs lol.
I usually go up to the “ Microcenter “ which is about an hour from my house for stuff related to computers, video, and all kinds of other tech. I’m not sure what your setup is nor do I claim to know much about recording in general but I do believe a wireless mic could be had for not much of an investment. Food for thought. And thanks for your video it helps me out.
