Steps: 

1. Clean the floor

Wash the floor down thoroughly and sweep the surface with a bristle broom to get rid of loose dirt.

Wash off grease with a degreaser because the paint will not stick to oily or greasy surface. Let the floor dry before painting.

2. Prepare the paint

Before applying the paint, add one scoop per liter of grip additive to promote grip when walking on the floor. Mix thoroughly.

3. Apply paint 

You can start on the sides and paint using a paint brush in careful strokes.

Roll the paint onto the floor. You can work by using small square patterns. Start at the farthest part going towards the door so you can exit once you are finished.

Spread the paint thoroughly to avoid thick areas that may not cure properly. Apply the final coat once the first coat has completely dried.
