Re: Basement Floor Paint


you want a high build epoxy.1or2 part high build epoxies are the strongest but difficult to work with especially 2 part mixes. you can also use an acrylic epoxy re-inforced floor paint that works just like house paint not as durable though.make sure the floor is clean enough to eat off of, then etch it with muratic acid before painting,this lowers the crete's ph close to 7(neutral) to provide a good base for proper adhesion.
