Common Questions About Floor Paint - Answered
Can I paint over my existing concrete floor?
Yes! SPO Floor Paint adheres excellently to properly prepared concrete. The key is thorough cleaning and degreasing. Remove any oil stains, loose material, or previous coatings that are flaking. A clean, sound surface ensures the best adhesion and longevity.
Will it work in my garage where I park my car?
Absolutely. SPO Floor Paint is designed to handle vehicle traffic, including cars, vans, and light commercial vehicles. Once fully cured, it creates a tough, resilient surface that won't mark from tyres or hot tyres.
How long before I can walk on it?
Touch-dry in 2-4 hours, walkable in 16-24 hours, and ready for light traffic in 3 days. For heavy traffic or vehicles, allow 7 days for full cure. These quick drying times mean minimal disruption to your space.
Do I need a primer?
For most sound concrete and wooden surfaces, SPO Floor Paint can be applied by simply thinning the first coat 10% with white spirit. For metal, use a good quality corrosion resistant primer first like Teamac Zinc Phosphate Primer.
If the surfaces is previously painted and sound, then simply clean and abrade then apply the coating directly
What coverage can I expect?
Typically 6-8 square metres per litre, depending on surface porosity. Most projects need two coats for optimal durability and appearance. Always apply thin, even coats rather than one thick coat.

How to Apply SPO Floor Paint for Best Results
Surface Preparation (Critical for Success)
1. Clean Thoroughly: Remove all dirt, dust, grease, and oil. Use a degreaser for oil-contaminated areas. Sweep and vacuum the entire surface.
2. Repair Damage: Fill cracks and holes with suitable concrete repair mortar. Allow repairs to cure fully before painting.
3. Etch if Necessary: Very smooth or power-trowelled concrete may need etching to improve adhesion. This creates a slightly rough surface for the paint to grip.
4. Remove Loose Material: Scrape away any flaking paint or loose concrete. The surface must be sound and stable.
5. Allow to Dry: Concrete must be completely dry before painting. Moisture is the enemy of good adhesion.
Application
Stir Well: Mix thoroughly before and during use to ensure even colour and consistency.
Primer Coat: For bare concrete and wooden surfaces, thin the first coat 10% with white spirit. For metal, use a good quality corrosion resistant primer first like Teamac Zinc Phosphate Primer.
First Coat: Apply a thin, even coat using a brush for edges and a medium-pile roller for main areas. Don't overload the roller.
Drying Time: Allow 16-24 hours between coats. Don't rush this - proper drying ensures durability.
Second Coat: Apply in the opposite direction to the first coat for best coverage and finish.
Curing: Keep the area free from traffic during the curing period. The longer you can wait before heavy use, the better the final durability.
Top Tips for a Professional Finish
- Work in temperatures between 10-25°C for best results
- Avoid painting in direct sunlight or when rain is forecast
- Use quality brushes and rollers - cheap tools give poor results
- Apply thin coats - thick coats take longer to dry and may sag
- Maintain a wet edge to avoid lap marks
- Consider adding SPO Anti-Slip Aggregate for slip resistance in wet areas
