Full details
This guide is for DIYers and professionals seeking a durable, high-performance floor coating for industrial or garage spaces. The FabioT. FT Paints 400ml Aerosol Floor Paint offers a solvent-free, self-levelling finish with excellent abrasion and chemical resistance, a key benefit for high-traffic areas. A potential caveat is the aerosol format, which may require multiple cans for larger areas and careful application for a uniform finish.

FAQs
Is this product suitable for outdoor use?
While the coating is resistant to frost and de-icing salts, prolonged UV exposure may affect the finish over time. It is primarily designed for indoor industrial and garage environments.
How many coats should I apply?
For best results and durability, two thin, even coats are generally recommended. Allow the first coat to dry tack-free before applying the second.
Can I use this on a previously painted floor?
Yes, but ensure the previous paint is sound and well-adhered. Lightly abrade the surface and clean thoroughly before application. If unsure, test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
What is the drying time?
The floor is walkable after 24 hours, and it achieves a full cure within 7 days, during which time it should be protected from heavy traffic and chemicals.
How do I clean the floor after application?
Clean with a mild detergent and water using a soft cloth or mop. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What is the coverage rate for a 400ml can?
Coverage varies depending on the surface porosity and application thickness. A general estimate for a 400ml can might cover approximately 0.5 to 1 square meter per coat.
Can I apply other paints over this coating?
It is recommended to use compatible primers and topcoats. If applying another layer of this specific product or a compatible Mipa primer, it should adhere well. Compatibility with unrelated paint systems should be tested.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or runs
Ensure consistent spray distance and speed. Apply in thin, even coats. If runs occur, allow to dry and lightly sand the area before reapplying a thin coat.
Poor adhesion or peeling
Surface was not adequately prepared. Ensure concrete is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or previous coatings. Consider re-etching the surface if contamination is suspected.
Coating does not cure properly
Check application temperature; it may be too low or too high. Ensure the product was stored correctly and is within its shelf life. For 2K products, ensure proper mixing ratios are followed (though this is a single-component aerosol).
Bubbles in the finish
This can be caused by trapped air or moisture. Ensure the substrate is completely dry. Avoid spraying too thickly, which can trap solvents evaporating.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Solvent-free formula is environmentally friendlier and reduces odor.
- Excellent resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and oils makes it suitable for harsh environments.
- Self-levelling properties simplify application and provide a smooth finish.
- Fast curing time minimizes downtime.
- Good adhesion to concrete substrates ensures longevity.
Cons
- Aerosol can format may not be cost-effective for very large areas.
- Achieving a perfectly uniform finish with aerosol cans can be challenging without practice.
- Requires careful surface preparation for optimal adhesion.
- Limited to 400ml cans, necessitating multiple purchases for extensive projects.
- Semi-gloss finish may show scuffs more readily than a matte finish in some lighting conditions.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Surface Preparation: Ensure the concrete surface is clean, dry, and free from oil, grease, dust, and any loose debris. For best results, use a concrete degreaser and etch the surface if necessary. Allow to dry completely.
- Application Environment: Apply in a well-ventilated area. Ensure the ambient temperature is suitable for epoxy coatings (typically between 10°C and 25°C).
- Aerosol Application: Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes before use. Hold the can upright and apply in smooth, sweeping motions from a distance of approximately 25-30 cm.
Compatibility:
- This product is compatible with Mipa primers. Consult the primer manufacturer's instructions for application.
- Can be combined with quartz additives for enhanced anti-slip properties. Mix additives thoroughly into the coating before application according to additive instructions.
Care:
- Clean spills immediately to prevent staining.
- For routine cleaning, use a mild detergent and water with a soft brush or mop.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads that could damage the semi-gloss finish.
- Regular inspection for any signs of wear or damage is recommended, with touch-ups applied as needed.
