FAQs

How long does the paint last?

With proper application and care, Rust-Oleum Floor Tile Paint provides a durable and long-lasting finish.

Can I use this paint in a shower?

While water-resistant, it's best suited for floors and not directly in a shower where there's constant water exposure.

How many coats of paint do I need?

Two coats are generally recommended for optimal coverage and durability.

What kind of roller should I use?

A short-nap roller is recommended for a smooth finish.

Do I need to prime before painting?

No, Rust-Oleum Floor Tile Paint is designed to adhere directly to the tile surface without priming.

Can I use this paint on walls?

No, this paint is specifically formulated for floor tiles.

What is the activator for?

The activator is added to the paint to enhance adhesion and durability.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the tile surface is thoroughly clean and free of any contaminants before application. Lightly abrade glossy tiles.

Paint is peeling or flaking.

Ensure adequate drying time between coats. Avoid applying too thick a coat. If the issue persists, lightly sand the area and reapply.

Uneven finish or brush marks.

Apply the paint in thin, even coats, using a high-quality brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint.

Color is not as expected.

Ensure that you have mixed the paint correctly. Allow the paint to fully dry to see the final color. If the color is still not right, consider a different shade.
