A GOOD concrete floor paint, applied to a properly prepared concrete
floor, CAN last a long time. Like 20 to 30 years. But it needs to be a
high quality paint, and the floor needs to be CLEAN and properly
prepared.


yep tenants would never carelessely move anything across the floor
scratching the paint

what might be OK in YOUR HOME may be a total bad idea in a
rental........

Don't know what (grey) paint was used on the floor in my daughter's
basement - but it is EXTREMELY tough. You could drag a big block chevy
across it and not damage it. I just covered it with hardwood last week
- not that the hardwood will be more durable, but it sure looks a heck
of a lot better.
