Does what it says on the can
Needed some floor paint for the garage - I don't keep a car in there -
but was frustrated by the dust when I swept it - last painted in 1988. Bought some Ronseal Diamond Hard Floor Paint today. I later ralised that it was quite expensive as it was not such a large can as I could have got at Screwfix (they were out of stock) Realised it felt very watery as I shook the can. Got it home and gave it a stir and used an old roller and tray - expecting to throw them away. It went on so easy. At the end of the job, I though I will just give the roller a go at cleaning it - and the paint washed off more readily than emulsion - same with the tray. Coverage was good and within an hour I could walk on it with no tackiness. Seems amazing so far. |
