G'day "BRO" There is no foolproof way of painting floor tiles; the coating is always going to come off. However, the best way is to; lighltly sand them, to remove the sheen of the tile, then give it a coat of Zinsser BIN. Once that has dried, use any good quality paving paint on top, like Berger Jet...

Best and longest wearing is a two pack epoxy but the colour range may be a bit limited - may be a bit industrial but certainly long lasting!

hey there are many ways to get around this 1. paint the floor in their standard state no sanding (if clean) using a product like wattyl solagard or dulux x10.... this is a solid colour so no grain of the timber will be seen 2. an exterior decking stain is still ok to use inside this has good durabil...
