How do I paint the concrete floors in my living room?

Posted by admin
DIYdoozie asked:


We took up the carpeting in our condo and have concrete underneath. We want to do a faux paint finish on the concrete but it has some paint overspray, adhesive and several cracks in it. What steps are necessary before I paint; what type of paint would I use and what type of clear finish would i use after painting?
