2If your hardwood flooring is covered in stains
and scratches then you may decide to paint over
it rather that rip them up or cover them with
carpet. If your wood floor is in perfect
condition, think very carefully as to whether you
really want to paint over them because if you
change your mind it will require a lot of hard
work to sand them down.
3Sand and Clean
Your floors need to be well sanded to remove
previous coats of varnish or urethane. Also give
the floors a good clean to remove dirt, dust,
hairs, etc. as you don't want it getting into
your paint.
4Repair Your Floor
To make your floors look their best, fill in any
gaps between the boards, fill in any holes with
wood filler and also make sure to remove nails
that may be sticking up.
5Priming Sealer
Use a roller or paint brush to apply a primer to
the wood. If you are painting your floors a dark
colour, then you may want to use a tinted primer.
6Paint the Wood
You must make sure that the primer is totally dry
before you even think about applying any coats of
oil-based paint. You will also need to let each
layer of paint dry before applying the next layer.
7Polyurethane
Your floors need to be well sanded to remove
previous coats of varnish or urethane. Also give
the floors a good clean to remove dirt, dust,
hairs, etc. as you don't want it getting into
your paint.
