Rust-Oleum 367592 Home Interior Floor Coating Kit, Matte Aged Gray

I'd been looking to revamp my down stairs WC room and my en suite shower room for a long while. I'd done the usual decorating but it never had that wow factor due to the original Lino that was in each room. It always seemed too big a job to replace it so I kept putting it off. Then I saw this product and for the price I thought it was worth a go. Whilst I was nervous about applying it I had no reason to be. With a small five roller and a small brush for the edges it was so easy. It apply smoothly and evenly and whilst I could see colour variation whilst it was still wet , as soon as it dried it was wonderfully even. I did apply a second coat though I really didn't need to. The top coat went on even better and I'm absolutely thrilled with the results. Plus I've only used half of the can so there's still enough left to do my main bathroom. I've saved a lot of money replacing the Lino and it's really transformed both rooms. Time will tell how hard wearing it is but for now, I couldn't be happier.

I love love love how this paint transformed my outdated foyer tile in our new home. It was one of the first projects I did at the new home so it was easy to keep the area uncluttered and clean while I worked. The coverage and thickness was great with one coat but I did two for good measure and still had enough for my space. If you start in one corner and work your way out, application is easy and drying time is as described. There was not a strong odor to this floor paint (at least compared to the high gloss rustoleum door paint I used later). The quality is great. In about 6 months, I have only noticed 2-3 small places the paint has chipped, likely because something was dropped on it. We also live at the beach so sandy feet walking in the front door is not uncommon. My only complaint (and I think I’m the only one who notices this) is likely user error—I did two coats of the translucent sealant when I should have done one. While two coats offers better protection, it also creates a haze over the stark black paint once it dried. Again, no one else sees this but me so maybe I’m being extra picky.

Se aplica fácilmente! Es mate.

Here are my FYI’s after doing this "brave" project on linoleum in a bathroom: Used the Frog Tape for taping off trim, etc. It took from Saturday-Tuesday just for drying all the coats and removing tape/touch-up below. I waited 1 full week before carefully moving furniture/décor items back. Used 1 qt can for 51 sf, 3 coats color and 2 coats clear, with some left over for touch-up. I put on the same clean socks on before going in after each application. I left the lights on to make it warmer, closed the door and refrained from using an oscillating fan in fear of it kicking up dust, etc. Used a 3” foam brush to cut in edges and other odd spots. When applying the edge paint, it will seem ‘thin’ and won’t seem to cover. Rest assured it will begin to cover as more layers are applied. It’s good to have paper towel and spray cleaner on hand to wipe the little oopsies while painting. However, paint oopsies can be removed after the fact with a cotton swab and acetone, just don’t get the swab soaking wet so it doesn’t drip. It may take multiple swabs depending on the amount of paint to be cleaned up. The clear coat will make the black paint appear blue and milky during application/while wet, but don’t worry, it will look black again once it dries. I’m not sure how other colors are affected by the topcoat application. Reminds me of Elmer’s glue, especially when you get it on your hands. Keep any brushes/rollers with your paint color wrapped tightly and separately in plastic shopping bags until you are completely done with the project. Why? In case you have to go back and touch-up during/after the topcoat application. After my first topcoat (as other reviewers have mentioned) some things may come to the surface. I gently removed them, then used my saved black foam brush to touch up those spots and 3 hrs later, I touched them up again. They will appear darker until fully dry. Then 3 hrs later I went back over with another coat. 24 hrs later I did another topcoat. I left the tape up while applying the top/clear coat. I ended up using a small utility knife to force cut the seal of the tape to avoid extra pulling 24 hrs after the 2nd topcoat was dry. If an area of tape is being difficult to remove even after cutting, I found placing a finger or something on the floor near trim while removing tape may reduce some over-pull. Although, I did have to go back and touch-up some spots using a very small artist-like brush (I used the brushes from my Latisse prescription, waste not, want not). While the topcoat I used was ‘matte’, it does have a very minor sheen to it when dry, which I do like how it turned out! Time and 3 teenagers will determine how well it holds up! Update: white spots may appear if water lands on floor (at least with black paint), try to wipe it up but it will go back to black once dry. I also invested in a floor lint roller to gently clean up floor. I have not had to do other cleaning yet.

Overall this is a great product and super easy to use. Results in really good coverage and a nice finish (for the matte option). My only only issue with this paint is the color...it's SO hard to tell what you're going to get and what it will look like once applied. The left picture is aged grey (my first attempt) but looked too blue /lavender and completely clashed with my dark wood flooring. The middle color is charcoal grey, which is a beautiful color but it too had a blue hue and conflicted with the grey counter top (making the counter appear purplish). The right hand picture is the black which I'm ultimately happy with, just wish I didn't have several other layers of paint underneath it. In certain lighting the black does appear more as a dark navy than a true jet black. Oddly it seems all these paints have blue hints to them. Something to note too is that I ordered 2 charcoal greys and they differed in color...one was darker and one was quite a bit lighter. But having done this THREE separate times now (luckily our half bath is very small), the product applies wonderfully, instructions are easy to follow, AND it's easy to paint over 😊.

Really didn't know what to expect going in with my bathroom floor, especially with the consistency of step 1. After everything was done my bathroom floor looks 1000% better than it did before. So happy with this product
