From only £1.53 per m², per coat Tough, easy to apply and excellent value for money Glossy, easy clean surface Resistant to grease and oils Great for stopping dust Watco Basics Floor Paint is based on a tough solvent based polyurethane formula which makes it ideal for general use. It can be applied over existing well bonded paint, or onto bare concrete, making cleaning easier. A separate unit of aggregate is supplied with Anti Slip Floor Paint, which is mixed into the paint to provide a finely textured slip resistant surface. For heavier wear areas, or areas where vehicles will be parked, we recommend a Epoxy Resin Floor Paint to resist ‘picking’ under parked car tyres. Recommended areas of use Any concrete floor subject to light-medium use. Can also be applied to wood and metal. Application Surface preparation Clean and prepare bare concrete using Watco Etch and Clean or Watco Bio-D. This will remove grease and oil deposits from existing paint. If over coating existing paint, please ensure it is well bonded. Remove any flaking or poorly bonded paint using a floor scraper for smaller areas or hire a grinder for larger areas. Smooth, glossy paint should be lightly abraded to provide a key. Make sure the surface is clean and dust free before continuing. Bare concrete must be porous to allow the first coat of paint to penetrate and key. If in doubt pour a small amount of water on the floor. If it soaks in, the concrete can be painted. If it beads up because the concrete is very smooth and dense, perhaps power floated, do not proceed, but refer instead to Watco Powerfloat Primer.
