FAQs

How much paint do I need?

Coverage depends on the porosity of the tiles. A 2.5L tin typically covers a moderate-sized floor. Refer to the product label for specific coverage details and calculate based on your floor area.

Can I use this paint on walls?

No, this paint is specifically formulated for floor tiles and is not recommended for use on walls.

How do I clean the painted surface?

Use a mild detergent and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.

What is the drying time?

The paint is touch-dry in 1 hour and can be recoated after 4 hours. Allow the paint to fully cure before heavy use.

Do I need to prime the tiles?

No, this paint is designed to adhere directly to clean tile surfaces without the need for a primer.

What if I don't use all the paint within 5 days?

Once mixed with the activator, the paint's properties will degrade, and the finish may be compromised. It is best to use all of the paint within the 5-day window.

What tools do I need?

A brush or roller, a paint tray, and appropriate cleaning supplies are necessary. Consider purchasing the Large Ready to Roll Kit for convenience.

Where can I buy the paint?

Check with your local hardware stores or online retailers that carry Rust-Oleum products.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering to the tiles.

Ensure the tiles were thoroughly cleaned and degreased before application. Lightly sand glossy tiles for better adhesion.

Paint finish is uneven.

Apply the paint in thin, even coats, and avoid over-brushing or over-rolling. Make sure the roller or brush is suitable for the surface.

Paint is taking too long to dry.

Ensure adequate ventilation during application and drying. Check the room temperature and humidity, as these factors can affect drying time.
