We've got a screened porch (they call them Arizona Rooms here in
Arizona), and the floor is covered with that green "astroturf like"
indoor-outdoor carpet. My wife understands that it is possible to
paint over it using several coats of primer followed by a floor
paint, to wind


up with a different color and relatively smooth surface.


Has anyone had any experience with doing this?


Thanks in advance for any information.

You are joking right?


They did it on "Trading Spaces" one time, so it is possible.



It's possible to put it on TV and make it look good for the moment.

Reminds me of an old "$19.95+s&h, order before midnight tonight"
commercial for thinning hair. Sprayed the guys head with some black stuff
and combed. Suddenly it looks like he has a full head of hair. Looks good
on TV where no detail can be seen and the test of time is zero.

In reality I heard that it actually just colored the scalp to look good
from an airplane. Up close it looked like the dude had a black helmet
on...an ugly black helmet...a cheap ugly black helmet.
