Ive had my 32m2 garden workshop floor screeded over an old concrete floor. This was done 4 weeks ago. Its no thicker than 70mm one one side and 30 on the other. The workshop is used for storage and light foot traffic. Can you recommend a suitable paint that is vapour permeable and will not blister and peel? Thanks

If you have used a purpose designed floor screed for the area then you will need to refer to the manufacturer of this screed to check it can be painted over and if so what type of floor paint they recommend this is done with. If it has been ordinary concrete used instead then once the substrate is thoroughly dry and prepared (see product data sheet available to download from the 'Attachments' tab on the product page) then Coo-Var Acrylic Floor Paint would be fine to apply.

Hi. I am about to have my new garage floor which was concreted have a SIKALEVEL 30 LATEX ULTRA self leveling compound applied to it ( due to several dips in the concrete) and then leave it as the final wearing course The garage is just for normal domestic use (1-2 cars etc) but am looking to paint it afterwards. Which paint would you recommend to use for this purpose? As several say you cant paint on the self leveler and dont really see it necessary to apply two part epoxy resins? Just want it to look nice, stop the dust and not flake or have tyre marks easily. Thanks Many thanks Peter

SikaLevel 30 Latex Ultra can be overpainted with PU, epoxy and water based (with high alkaline resistance) coatings. Something like Sikafloor 2540W would be a good option to consider. Due to the range of products on the market we would always advise a pre adhesion test before the full application. Please refer to all product data sheets before use - available to download from the 'attachments' tab on the product page.

Can this be used on asphalt steps? As asphalt is liable to expand with heat - will it crack the paint? I am wanting to paint the steps as they get the full glare of the sun and are liable to melt in the summer sunshine. Hoping by making lighter colour this will deflect the sun a bit and lower the temperature. If not this paint then an alternative. Although I do not want a reflective paint. Thanks.

Coo-Var Acrylic Floor Paint is fine for use on asphalt, however on steps we would normally suggest the use of Coo-Var Anti-Slip Acrylic Floor Paint instead.

Hi I’m looking to buy your acrylic floor paint.. I’m about to sand down wooden flooring which has previously been painted, will your product also act as a primer as well as a top coat? Or would I need to prime first?

Existing painted surfaces should be cleaned, degreased and sanded to ensure an adequate "key" is produced. Remove all loose and flaking material. Coo-Var Acrylic Floor Paint can be applied directly to wood without the need of a primer.

Hi The information on this product is unclear for application to sanded wooden floors and I'm hoping you can clarify. The tin says wood surfaces should be primed first, but also says the product thinned with 10% clean water can be used on porous surfaces as a primer and sealant. Is wood considered a porous surface? Or is another primer required? Many thanks Michelle

Coo-Var Acrylic Floor Paint should be applied directly to prepared timber surfaces undiluted.

ColourPicker Explained

In general we sort colours for products into 2 main groups - ‘Ready Mixed’ and ‘Tinted’.
Tinted colours will always be more expensive than Ready Mixed colours as they need to be produced at the time of order using a tinting machine dispensing colourant into a base*.
During busy periods, this means that tinted colours could take longer, for example – a ready mixed colour ordered on a 3-5 day delivery might arrive within 3 days, however a tinted colour might take the full 5 days to arrive.

To find Ready Mixed colours, search "ready mixed" or select the Ready Mixed 'colour chart'. To see Tinted colours select a colour chart such as RAL, BS, NCS, etc. or search for a colour/hue to see available or related options.

To ensure fair pricing, we split colours into ‘Price Bands’ to group together similar priced colours. If you wish to search for the cheapest tinted colours, always select Price Band 1.

We make every effort to list all available colours, however we also offer a colour match service which can be accessed by contacting our Technical Team on 0113 245 5450 (option 2) or emailing [email protected]

*Colours are sold in the nearest tin size but actual paint volume per tin may vary up to 10% depending on colour

Colour reproduction of the Products on the Site is limited by the technology used to deliver web pages and by the colour representation of Customer’s own monitor and computer set-up. We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours of our Products but we cannot guarantee that the colour shown on Customer’s monitor’s display will accurately reflect the colour of the Product on delivery. We recommend that Customer first purchases the smallest Product available or access an industry standard colour chart in person (and not digitally) to ensure that the colour is acceptable for its purposes.

Description

Coo-Var Acrylic Floor Paint

A water-based solution perfect for a variety of indoor or outdoor surfaces. Designed for quick application, it provides excellent coverage with a semi-gloss finish. Avail Its fast-drying formula makes it convenient for areas with frequent foot or light truck traffic. Ideal for tarmac, concrete, asphalt, wood, and more, it is an all-purpose solution for those looking for durable and professional-looking results.

Applications

Can be used on a range of surfaces such as tarmac, concrete, asphalt, wood, window ledges, bricks, and metals.
Perfect for footpaths, garage floors, and other areas that experience light vehicle traffic.
It can be applied indoors or outdoors, making it ideal for homes, offices, and industrial settings.

Ensure that the surface is properly cleaned and prepared before application. For concrete, it’s essential to roughen the surface to provide a key for the paint to adhere. If applying to new concrete, ensure it is fully cured, which can take up to three months.

Performance and Application

The acrylic floor paint is quick drying, touch-dry within 1.5 hours, and fully hardened in 3-5 days, ensuring a fast turnaround for busy environments. Its semi-gloss finish adds a touch of professionalism while maintaining excellent durability. The product is non-flammable, with a maximum VOC content of 91g/l, and is easy to clean with water.

Recoat time: 6 hours
Application methods: Brush, roller, or spray

Note that the product should not be applied at temperatures below 7°C, as this will affect its drying and performance.

Recommended Primers and Coatings

For best results, prime metal surfaces with Coo-Var All Metals Primer. Wooden surfaces and previously painted areas should be properly prepared and cleaned before application. If you're working on smooth or granolithic surfaces, use Coo-Var Acid Etch to roughen the surface before painting. This ensures better adhesion and overall durability.

Limitations and Restrictions

Do not apply when temperatures are below 7°C as it will hinder the paint’s performance and drying times. Additionally, avoid using this product on areas exposed to heavy vehicle traffic or environments subject to prolonged moisture exposure, as this may compromise the paint’s durability. Slip resistance is variable depending on environmental factors, such as surface contamination or pedestrian footwear, so a site assessment may be required to ensure optimal performance.

Health and Safety

Always use appropriate protective equipment when applying the product, and ensure adequate ventilation in confined spaces. Avoid contact with skin and eyes, and in case of accidental contact, rinse immediately with water. This product contains isothiazolinones, which may cause allergic reactions.
