[DIY] Painting concrete floors

 

I've tried working on these old grease and rust stains but I get only minimal results if any.  So I just want to cover them up.  Doing any kind of power washing or acid washing now is out of the questions, all the cabinets appliances furniture etc is already in.  We have large area rugs but nothing looks good with dirty concrete showing.

This will be a strictly DIY project so anything that require us to sand and prepare the concrete isn't an option.  We just want to cover them to make them look better.  At some point in the future we'd like to lay a wood floor but till then we need to do something.

I have the Behr information which appears to be more for patios, garages etc. and required some sanding.  I have read information about a Sherwin Williams concrete paint that covers, is self leveling and holds great.  I am at a total loss about what to do right now.  I need the cheapest solution that's going to look good.  I don't want it peeling next week it doesn't have to last forever.

Thank for your insights,

Jan Flood
