What Paint Should I use to paint floor boards in shower room?

I have blue floor boards in my shower room and the look horrid. I cant afford to buy new flooring to cover it, so can I paint it with normal interior pain?What Paint Should I use to paint floor boards in shower room?
About seven years ago I painted our dining room floorboards with B%26amp;Q water-based gloss, and then varnished over with water-based hard-wearing varnish (Wickes, I think). It still looks good as new (and it's off white!) and it has stood up to dining chairs moving about etc. Make sure the paint and varnish are both either oil-based or water-based, don't mix.What Paint Should I use to paint floor boards in shower room?
Clean the floor well with TSP and use an epoxy paint for concrete which will last longer than a regular paint. Home depot sells a 1 part epoxy paint that you can get in a range of colors.


You could paint with an enamel paint and then seal it with water-based polyurethane but it won't last as long as the epoxy paint. I would do at least 3 coats of poly(30 minutes between coats) and wait a few days before putting a rug on top of it so it can cure.
yes you can but why not consider nitromorse to get the old paint off then stain with a suitable colour woodstain and a 2 pack clear varnish over the top for extra strength.if done correctly it looks great
prime the floors with a good exterior primer, then either use exterior paint or a good two part expoxy paint.
waterproof gloss paint, dont forget the primer!
now the simple answer... yes.. use any oil based paint..
