You’re ready to start painting, but first, you must prepare your floors. Sand them using medium-grit sandpaper, remove the dust, and clean with T.S.P. substitute cleaner (#224907). The following painting instructions apply to all designs shown here. Prime the floor with American Tradition by Valspar Interior Latex Multipurpose Primer (#168215); let dry completely. Tape off the pattern, and then paint using American Tradition by Valspar Latex Porch and Floor Enamel (#49816) in a satin finish of your desired color. After paint has dried, and the surface is dust free, add a layer of Minwax Polycrylic Protective Finish (#45892) to protect the surface.Bright path
