Could you point me in the direction of someplace that sells the oops gray primer or maybe a substitute for it? Also, Is the Behr paint as good as the Mystic? And the finish you used in the paint was a satin finish, right?

They do it all the time for basketball courts and it last per my reviews. You did a wonderful job and yes it is pretty. Love it. I would like to do my bathroom like this. I think he is just lazy, or maybe I need to try to do it myself….lol

Thanks for your tutorial.

Linda

I had nothing to lose when I did my floor. I hated it, so even if I got an extra year or two, I was fine with it. 3.5 years later, I have updated the color and I’m still thrilled with it. I have gotten a couple of small scratches, but touchups are easy because I didn’t seal my paint. With the proper prep work, you shouldn’t have any issues at all.

I see you painted the kitchen floor in 2010 – how is it holding up now in 2014? We are planning to paint vinyl flooring over 350 sq ft in our kitchen and sunroom, but want it to last. Let me know! Thanks, SD

Thank you for your quick reply! I’m really looking into a simple refurbish on my ugly kitchen and bathroom vinyl floors. II also have a furbaby kitty and I just hope he keeps off! HAHA. I just found your site and I’m loving all you do.

Nope, Michelle… I didn’t seal it and I haven’t regretted that decision at all. I don’t like the feel of poly under my feet. Plus I don’t like shine. It would be difficult to change the color if I had sealed it.

I’m not generally one who likes change, but who knows… come spring, maybe I’ll change up the color again. lol

I would think the wear and waking and scrapping of heels and other incidents might need a coat of a sealer….

Candace,

I have used the Mythic paint on my kitchen floor and on my entire fireplace and on several pieces of furniture without any problem of the paint being pulled off. It is great paint, but very expensive. When I updated the color of my floor I used Behr paint (my favorite) and it’s held up very well without sealing. I am so glad I didn’t seal my floor, because it’s so easy to change up or touch up if something gets scratched. is it perfect? no, but I can’t replace my floor without taking my cabinets out because my base cabinets sit on layers and layers of sub floor and vinyl floors.

As long as paint has a good “tooth” to adhere to, it will stick whether it’s on furniture or floors. 🙂
good luck, have fun! 🙂
