I have a room with such an ugly floor, and a friend of mine said you can sand, paint, and seal linoleum. I don't know why I'm so leary, maybe because it'd be such a cheap and easy fix to my problem it sounds too good to be true! She said they make flooring paint. Anyways, I need help ladies!! I went to the Around My House and Garden forum, I don't think it gets too much traffic. Any help/tips/suggestions are appreciated!

way back a long time ago my mom painted our kitchen and bathroom linoleum It worked out fine.
They also paint it on HGTV so surely it works

I don't know why I never think to do a search, thanks for the links valorian. It seems simple enough, I'm just gonna hate having to let each layer of paint and sealant completely dry between coats. It's a high traffic room plus I have zero patience. lol I'm beginning this Saturday! I appreciate you both.

Sure can They do it or did it on Trading Spaces all the time. We're thinking of doing it in our kitchen and laundry room to help our home sell instead of replacing the floors when/if we ever get home to VA.

Why not just lay down pull n stick tiles over the laminate? You can normally find them extremely cheap, plus they have a lot of modern colors and looks now and you won't have to worry about the paint chipping or applying it and waiting for it to dry. JMHO

Is your floor linoleum or vinyl? There is a difference, so make sure you include that in your research. We have ugly vinyl. I wonder if I could paint that.

I just googled it...
"Just about any flooring surface that is in good shape can be painted. Concrete, wood, ceramic tile, sheet vinyl, vinyl tile, etc. can all be painted with ease. The only surface that may have problems would be an older basement concrete floor that is below grade or one that is in contact with a very wet soil."

I considered this, but theres a slight buckle in the floor, so I'm assuming because it's uneven I couldn't do the stick tiles, right? Let me know if I'm wrong, and I'll be on it!!!!

I painted the floor of a small bathroom once. I used a textured spray paint and then put 2 coats of polyurethane over it. It didn't get much traffic, but it looked great and held up fine.

We laid down the peel and stick tiles in our old kitchen. My DH put down a layer of something that was supposed to even out the old floor before putting the tiles on. That was a little over 5 years ago so I can't remember exactly what it was.

before you sand be sure that th flooring does not contain asbestos, i read that they used asbestos in flooring, and i think it was linolium and 9 inch tiles.
if it does contain asbestos DO NOT sand, it will contaminate your home.

The above poster is correct. Depending on the age of the house and flooring some tiles and linoleum do contain asbestos. The dust from sanding could get in your lungs and cause health problems. My school had some tiles removed a few years ago that contained asbestos. Do some research first.
