Basement got flooded, I want to know can I paint the floor(concrete) with this paint?

NO, use a good quality Epoxy Stain.. If the floor is cured concrete, cure time is usually one to two years or more.

I am not sure. I bought it for use over a shower enclosure. But my basement used to have water seep in after bad rains. I recently had it painted with Dry Lok and it has stayed dry since.

I used exterior paint only. But I'm sure it would spray stain. That would be thinner then paint. When I tested it with water it sprayed Nicly with water.

I would assume so. I used this in my old basement that had issues with water during heavy rains. Water would come through the foundation. I used this with their seam tape and the basement was dry as a bone. We went to sell and an inspector said that we had high moisture readings up to 12" high. Needless to say, we did get the basement professionally waterproofed to sell the house. I can tell you this stuff works and works very well. Hope this helps

This seal dries clear. You can paint over it. I used it to seal out moisture in my basement.

I don't know. I didn't buy it to use concrete. I bought it to paint a pattern on my patio, which I did not do and ended up getting rid of the mold.

I put on the colored coat and added the flakes before it dried. then I added the clear epoxy. I think in order to do a 2nd coat of clear epoxy you need to do it quickly or you have to sand the surface for it to stick. I don't see any benefit to the flakes. just decorative. there is a phone number on the product to call the manufacturer. I will tell you if you do it right, this coating is almost impossible to mess up. I make natural soap and it has had lye on it and has not shown any effect. but the key is to do it right. if your concrete has any moisture in it, the coating will not stick. my concrete was very wet and I had to put fans on it to dry for a week. you have to do the moisture test to see if your concrete is dry. this stuff is the best! .

I would get two. This stuff is very thick and goes fast. I did my basement floor and thought I had enough to do the whole thing, however I needed two full cans. When using, make sure you shake it up really really well. There is a sand grit to it which just sits on the bottom until you shake it. Then pour into a painters pan and spread around to make it even when you apply it.It works great, I love it and even outside it lasts. Best of luck.

Before you recoat, the paint that you have on the floor MUST be in good shape. No peeling or chipping. There is a test where you take a razor knife and make an X in your old paint, then cover the X with duct tape then pull up tape and if it is less than 10% (I am not sure it could have been a little more than 10%) that comes up with tape, you are good to start prepping the floor. Sand the entire floor with 60 grit paper. You can use a electric sander. Rough up the original coating and clean dust WELL. Vacuum, Dust Mop and rinse and dry. There can be no residue on floor. Now you can apply Rust-Oleum solvent based floor coating NOT WATER BASE. I know this sounds like a lot of work but it beats the highly dusty mess from using a diamond sander to remove old coating to bare concrete. This Rust-Oleum solvent based floor paint is an excellent product and for me the coverage was more than advertised.

HI JackYou can paint over this product because it does not have repellent properties.However, i recommend waiting for a couple of days after application to see if any white residue is expelled from the concrete.RegardsMikeStone Technologies Corp423-503-4490

I used it to seal my basement cement walls behind the insulation and sheet rock. After it dries I can see no reason why you would not be able to paint over it. I applied 2 coats and it works great.

I wouldn't do that, as I think the water would eventually make the paint peel off. I use the rustoleum on our bar b que and it only does a fair job.

No, just paint it outside. It should dry unless there is something wrong with your bottle of paint

The concrete needs to be completely dry so it will absorb the paint otherwise it will peal off. I would only apply it when the humidity is low. The paint is internally catalyzed so it will set it up even in cool weather. The instructions should give you a temperature application range.

Definitely clean it. Any paint can only adhere to whatever is beneath it. You want it adhering to concrete, not algae.

I applied this product directly to the toilet and flushed it to the sewer line, I can't tell weather it will damage concrete or not. Sorry about that!

I see no reason why you couldn't.. I would create a test "patch" and try it out. Might absorb differently than the existing concrete, so be aware of that. That would make the color a bit off. May need an extra coat, etc..

It should. If you have a leak under the concrete the area should be hotter than other areas of the basement floor. I like how this works and is one of the easier ones to use and well worth the money if you have other uses for it. I found a lot of cold spots and air lease in a house I am working on using the instrument.
