I am looking for a waterproof paint for a shower floor the current floor is like a moulded vinyl type which goes up about 75mm on the wall it’s too much work stripping it out as it’s still waterproof but I want to change the colour from blue to grey

This product wouldn't be suitable for this application type, as the aggregate is quite harsh and wouldn't be comfortable to walk on in bare feet. Due to vinyl being quite flexible, the paint would likely crack and have trouble adhering to the shiny, un-porous surface. Assuming the vinyl is clean, dry, sound, abraded to achieve a surface profile and solvent wiped with a methylated spirit prior to application, as an alternative you could consider Smartkote Safekote in a range of available colours, with a preceeding coat of Smartkote Clear Primer Treatment to provide adhesion for the topcoat to adhere to. We'd recommend to test for compatibility and adhesion on a small test area firstly prior to full application.

I need anti slip paint over galvanized steel drainage covers on a walkway which is in constant use (foot traffic). Will this be a suitable paint for it? What is the expected durability of this product?

Assuming the galvanised covers are clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet this paint will be suitable. The covers must be treated first with Teamac Mordant Solution (T Wash), then one coat of Coo-Var Zinc Phosphate Primer should be applied. Coo-Var Suregrip Anti-Slip Floor Paint is suitable for areas exposed to foot traffic and light truck traffic. The life span of the product will depend on the level of traffic.

what is the lowest temperature i can use the floor paint please

Thank you for the enquiry, we would recommend application when substrate temperatures are above 5°C.

Hi, I have the Anti-slip paint and was wondering if I can use it on outside floor tiles on the steps to my house

Coo-Var Prime-All would be the recommended primer for use on tiles prior to the application of Coo-Var Suregrip.

When you say “a 10% thinned coat of paint” I’m assuming you mean a coat consisting of 90%paint and 10% thinner or is it the other way round ?

Depending on the substrate, Coo-Var Floor Paint can be used as a primer thinned 10% with Teamac Thinner 14 . 1ltr of paint should have 100ml of thinners mixed in.

What product is best to clean equipment after this suregrip paint has been applied? E.g. cleaning brushes and rollers?

For cleaning brushes and rollers after application we can recommend Thinner 14 .

i am looking for an anti slip coating to apply to drain covers in a school walkway that is used infrequently

Coo-Var Suregrip Anti-Slip Floor Paint would be suitable for this application but assuming the covers are currently bare, ferrous metal they would need first priming with Coo-Var Zinc Phosphate Primer .

do we need primer for this paint

Coo-Var Penetrating Wood Primer on wood, Coo-Var Zinc Phosphate Primer on ferrous metals, 10% thinned Coo-Var Floor Paint or Coo-Var Alkali Resisting Primer Sealer on concrete.

Need a safety yellow anti slip paint to mark edges of metal stairs in a school - is the Suregrip Coo Var anti slip floor paint bright "yellow enough" to be seen?

As a guide, the yellow Coo-Var Suregrip Anti-Slip Floor Paint is available in is close to BS 4800 08 E 51 .

Do you supply sample pots of light and dark grey please Mary

Sample pots of this product are not available but we do have dry samples that we can post if you can provide an address to our sales team.

Have slopping concrete steps leading up to house what is the best paint to make them look better.

All surfaces should be clean, dry, sound and free from contaminants. Concrete - power floated, granolithic and smooth surfaces should be roughened first to provide a good "key" for the paint. This can be done mechanically by abrading or blasting, or chemically using Coo-Var Acid Etch . These processes will have the advantage in addition to preparing the surface of also removing dirt and laitance. New concrete must be allowed to cure thoroughly which can take up to 3 months. Apply a 10% thinned coat of Coo-Var Floor Paint to prime and seal the surface prior to applying Coo-Var Suregrip.

Do you need to use a primer before using coo var outdoor anti slip paint

Use Coo-Var Penetrating Wood Primer on wood, Coo-Var Zinc Phosphate Metal Primer on ferrous metals, 10% thinned Coo-Var Floor Paint or Coo-Var Alkali Resisting Primer on concrete.

Please would you tell me what the finish is like on the Coo Var Sure Grip Anti slip paint is - is it satin, semi gloss or something else please? thanks Dean French

It is a matt, aggregated finish.

Is the non slip surface very rough. I have a 75' length garden where I throw a ball for my dog to run back and forth to me. Would the non slip be too rough on her paws ? also is it easy to clean and sweep off leaves etc.

It is a coarse anti-slip finish which can make it tough to clean. If you're looking for something less aggressive we would recommend Rust-Oleum Tarmacoat .

How many coats of Coo-Var Suregrip Anti-Slip Floor Paint should I apply on an exterior surface to give maximum protection?

Bare surfaces should first be cleaned, prepared and primed as follows; Coo-Var Penetrating Wood Primer on wood, Coo-Var Zinc Phosphate Primer on ferrous metals, Coo-Var Floor Paint (thinned 10%) or Coo-Var Alkali Resisting Primer Sealer on concrete. Once suitably primed, apply 2 coats of Coo-Var Suregrip Anti-Slip Floor Paint in the desired colour at 6-10m² per litre/per coat by brush or roller.
